Hi Platt, thank you! Good to hear from you as well.

Dan:
I think you've been reading Bo's posts for too long, my friend. SOM
this and SOL that. Very confusing. Rather, I tend to agree with Robert
Pirsig's simple and harmonious statements:

"Dynamic Quality is defined constantly by everyone.
Consciousness can be described is a process of defining Dynamic
Quality. But once the definitions emerge, they are static patterns and
no longer apply to Dynamic Quality. So one can say correctly that
Dynamic Quality is both infinitely definable and undefinable because
definition never exhausts it." [Robert Pirsig, LILA'S CHILD]

How could we define Dynamic Quality if we cannot perceive it?
