DM: My first thought here was: are you insane? If you do not gain
anything from Pirsig by seeing SQ/DQ as a better distinction that
subject/object than what's the point of the MOQ? I sure don't
see any workable form of intellect that does not use distinctions
as you in fact imply below with 'better'. By intuition does usefully
suggest how we experience prior to SQ and its structuring differentiations
that we 'postulate'. That seems obvious and is what Derrida implies
with 'differance' and DQ's endless differal of closure. Not hard to find
that useful in my book.


Matt:
