[MD] confused

[Case]

Thanks gav,

I have repeatedly suggested that Pirsig got the ideas right but labeled them
wrong. In this instance though maybe we should just leave it undefined...

Last night was a night of wisdom from rock lyrics. In an effort to truly
find the lowest common denominator, perhaps Quality is as they describe it
in the candy commercial...

cheers case,

looks like we need a new central concept.
maybe 'harmony' or mark's 'coherence' to describe
optimal states of being - this shifting balance of sq
and DQ.

'Quality is the Way'. that is spot on i think.

it only gets confusing when we move from mysticism to
metaphysics....as we were warned.

i don't think DQ = dynamic and static in balance is
best. i think that confuses things too much. instead:
harmony or coherence = dynamic and static in balance,
maybe?

cheers again mate
gav
