[Platt] If you can show me in Lila approval for the exceptions you mention, I'll be happy to agree.
[Arlo] If you can show me in Lila approval for reducing life, education, access to information, etc. to market commodities, I'll be happy to agree. [Platt] As for Victorian values, you neglect to mention those Pirsig specifically lauded. [Arlo] He lauded a value here and there, but point me to where he suggests we should return to their ways? Indeed, as I pointed out, he called such a drift "immoral". "And from the early seventies on there has been a slow confused mindless drift back to a kind of pseudoVictorian moral posture... The Metaphysics of Quality, however, says that's backward: the Hippie revolution was the moral movement. The present period is the collapse of values." [Platt] But, that's par for the course from a self-proclaimed "critical thinker. [Arlo] I'm sorry, when did I say that Pirsig said "all Victorian values were bad". But masterful attempt at distortion here, Platt. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
