Why do you use the word speculate when it comes
to science? Also, this is not a scientists response,
it was Socrates, the philosopher, who proclaimed this,
and it is easy to see how science is founded upon
ancient Greece with Socrates being from that time and
place.

How do you know? The MoQ discusses static
quality and dynamic quality. I don't know of anywhere
in the MOQ, in Pirsig's books, where "...forever..."
is discussed, maybe you could give me a reference to
where Pirsig mentions this.

The body dies? Does death mean change or
transform? I know the body changes into dirt, and
after some other changes dirt to tree, to fruit, to
human eat, to body, circles... Also called the life
cycle.

The body thinks? Isn't it you that says
consciousness has nothing to do with the organic
brain? I don't know about forever, and changes occur
all the time. Summer doesn't last forever, and yet,
summer comes back again.

Didn't say grandfather's ashes typed, did I?
hahahah! Your so funny!

Or what about flies. Fly larva will eat the body
and consume it for its' own use, and then become a fly
and fly away. It's an easy jump using the ecosystem
and life cycle in understanding what's happening here.
It's observable. But you throw around forever, body,
spirit, and the life cycle of the universe as if you
know first hand or... or... how about your favorite
word - speculative... hmmmm....
ever take a walk in the woods and watch trees sprout
where deer have died,
