[MD] The Quality/MOQ meta-metaphysics

[Horse]

Can't see that happening any time soon Arlo - this is an ego thing with 
Bo. Until he gets his ego under control we'll continue to get the same 
old drivel that we've been getting for some time.
Even as an alternative to Pirsigs MoQ the SOL sucks. But with so much 
time and ego invested in SOL Bo will not let go of it.
However, one thing I am going to start insisting upon is that Bo 
refrains from saying that Pirsig supports the SOL as this is completely 
false and to continue doing so is not only wrong but is intellectually 
dishonest. Pirsig has stated quite clearly that the he does not consider 
SOL/SOM as Quality Intellect etc. as part of the MoQ and has also stated 
that it undermines the MoQ.
So Bo if you are reading this then please take note of the above. Pirsig 
does not support your interpretation of the MoQ and you should not try 
and make out that he does.
