[MD] The Edge 2006 Annual Question

[Michael Hamilton]

Ian,

Phew! Light at the end of the tunnel.

And this is what Bo's been saying. The constant striving for
objectivity, which pervades all 4th-level activity, isn't limited to
discovering properties of Cartesian matter. In the widest sense, the
objective perspective is the perspective of 'true for everyone,
everywhere, for all time'. In this wide sense of objectivity, Pirsig
strove for a more objective view than SOM, because SOM _doesn't_ work
for everyone, everywhere, for all time. That's why SOM is flawed. The
MOQ is objectively true, NOT because it corresponds to a reality
outside our heads, but because it works for everyone, everywhere, for
all time.

Here's to the new objectivity.

Regards,
Mike
