[MD] The Quality/MOQ meta-metaphysics

A huge point in all this, is that once you take away the interpretive argument
of what Pirsig says, and allow SOL to stand on it's own merit, it quickly
dissolves into thin air.

[Arlo]
Of course, and why do you think the interpretive "argument" is what they cling
to so desperately? Its the only validity they can hope for. And its why they
revise Pirsig, ignore what he himself says, and crop and choose quotes to
support an "interpretation" that Pirsig has outright said he does not agree
with.

Pirsig's MOQ: the intellectual level is NOT SOM.

Bo's MOQ: the intellectual level IS SOM.

Two. Different. Things.

Have all the arguments you'd like about which is better (I think Pirsig's MOQ
is better, personally), but do not try to claim Bo's MOQ is what Pirsig meant,
if only he were smart enough to understand his own meaning.
