[MD] Where have all the values gone?

Platt said:
I think we are using "transcendent" differently. You may mean "extending 
beyond
limits of ordinary experience." If so, then you're quite correct in saying 
Pirsig's
quality is not transcendent since it is no different than ordinary 
experience. I
meant that quality was everywhere in everything. Perhaps a better word would 
be
"intrinsic."


DM: We cannot experience anything beyond experience. However
we do experience much that goes beyond the space-time realm.
We experience much that transcends the space-time realm. We
can endlessly explore the inexhaustible realm of the possible.
A great artist brings something of great value back from this realm and
presents it before us in the common/shareable space-time realm.
A great scientist may discover in the realm of the possible the idea
of 'black holes' & express this idea in the common space-time realm,
and later we may even go on to find empirical evidence of a blackhole
to fit this idea.
