[MD] The Quality/MOQ meta-metaphysics

[Andre Broersen]

Platt to Andre in response to Marsha's ignorance:

Yes, Andre. Let's see you demonstrate an intellectual pattern that isn't based
on the subject/object division. I'm all tingly with anticipation.

Andre:
Problem with this sort of thing coming from 'the Bo camp' is that nothing I, or for that matter Mr. Pirsig, Dan, dmb, Arlo, even Matt, John and Krimel says (and apologies to those I may have missed)say will be accepted.

I suggest you take a long, very hard and critical look at the MOQ itself!

...but I can hear your self-satisfying objections coming from a mile away. All of 'us' have at times tried to produce argument upon argument proving the fallacy of the SOL interpretation backed up with statements and quotes from Mr. Pirsig himself, James, Northrop, Anthony, Dewey you name it...but these are dismissed as if they never existed. Mr. Pirsig has written 'nonsense', has 'lost nerve' has 'lost heart'(in other words he is a coward!). Bloody hell! How dare you!!!

As I said in a previous post: you do not realise how smart Mr. Pirsig is. He deserves our greatest respect ( yes Marsha, a social pattern of value is not out of place ...even on an 'intellectual' forum such as this!)but what I get from 'you lot' is nothing but contempt for the man. No Marsha ( I pick on you because you mentioned these as counter arguments in the past) he is not god, it is not papal bull, but there are limits to how far you can stretch the interpretation of the MOQ. Mr. Pirsig has made these very clear in the LC annotations.

I once again refer to the letter Mr. Pirsig wrote to Dough Renselle, to be found in the archives.

I'll stop taking you guys and girls seriously and wholeheartedly support Horse in giving Bodvar a yellow card!!! Many of 'us' take a lot of time and energy to present Mr. Pirsig's views and insights as truthfully as we can. But to simply be whisked away and nullified in one short sentence is a very poor use of your intellectual patterns (as I understand we all possess)on this forum.

I will refrain from using the word 'shame'... instead I will simply refer to your attitude as very (SOL/SOM) blinkered... and it obstructs an understanding of the MOQ. ( jee whiz...Bodvar: the SOL=the MOQ!...where does he get it from!).

Over and out on this ridiculousness.

Good for you Horse!
