[Platt] Wilber uses the metaphor of Flatland to describe the shortcomings of science which deals with surfaces all the way down -- all span and no depth. For science all is particulate, right down to quantum particles which exist in spooky "potentialities." Thought on which science depends is not, of course,
particulate -- a fact blithely ignored. Why? Because science hasn't a clue as to how thought emerges from a lump of meat. [Krimel] Odd then that the emergent hierarchy Pirsig comes up with follows a clearly scientific path of development from the inorganic to the intellectual. Science does tell us how thought arises from a lump of meat. You just don't like the answers because they don't tell you why. 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/
