[MD] Social Imposition ?

[Arlo Bensinger]

[Laramie]
The individual discovers he is not a product of the historical 
development of static patterns of value - he is their ~creator~ and 
always has been.

[Arlo]
Please explain to me how the "individual" created the inorganic 
patterns of value we call "atoms". Not, mind you, the "intellectual 
pattern" that is their descriptor, but the inorganic patterns of 
value themselves. What YOU describe is PURE subjectivism. The human 
"individual" creates existence through his consciousness.

 From Wikipedia on "Subjectivism".

"Metaphysical subjectivism is the theory that perception creates 
reality, and that there is no underlying, true reality that exists 
independent of perception. One can also hold that it is consciousness 
rather than perception that creates reality. This is in contrast to 
metaphysical objectivism, which asserts that there is an objective 
reality which is perceived in different ways.

This holding should not be confused with the stance that "all is 
illusion" or that "there is no such thing as reality." Metaphysical 
subjectivists hold that reality is real enough, and that physical 
objects do exist. They conceive, however, that the nature of reality 
as related to a given consciousness unit is created and governed by 
that consciousness."

This is what you describe, NOT Pirsig's MOQ, where the individual 
most certainly IS the product of the historical development of static 
patterns of value moving towards Dynamic Quality.
