The consensus appears to be that, according to the MoQ, feelings and emotions belong to the biological level. From this perspective it makes sense to regard sentiment as so much useless fluff, inconveniences and distractions. The best response is to avoid them. They have nothing to teach or inform. And because they're source is biological there is nothing a person can do about them save experience the feeling. Is this about right...according to the MoQ? Hi Kevin and All, IMO it is unclear what Pirsig means by the biological level. In one place he discusses the penetration of the cell wall by a sperm cell as a dynamic event. Arguing for that insight I see the biological level as divided into two, reproduction by collision Man, and reproduction by an egg being penetrated Woman. Through the shock of air a new order evolves which I prefer to call proprietary awareness, which is the social order. The basis for proprietary awareness is I am empty. Emotion distinguishes 'I' in another individual, the social order. The social order is a manifestation of proprietary awareness, I know you, you are other. >From this awareness in the individual, relationships are realized which evolve into the next order, the order of law, the intellectual order.
