[MD] On Balance: Dewey, Pirsig and Granger

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Case]
I like most of what you have been saying here Arlo, but I was personally just
starting to warm up to the idea of equilibrium as a replacement for all those
other terms. A system can be in a state of dynamic equilibrium.

[Arlo]
Hm. I'm not familiar with dynamic equilibrium, but I'm not opposed to the term.
I was just pointing out that for me "equilibrium" seems to entail rest, or
completion, something I do not mean when I say "balance".

[Case]
How do you reconcile this with those who say DQ has no force at all [I had
called DQ a "force of movement" - Arlo]. Anything that can be described in any
way shape or form is not DQ.

[Arlo]
I think we can talk about DQ using analogies, and that was more of less what I
was doing, extending Pirsig's metaphorical reference to DQ/SQ as "moral
forces".
