You are and I am, comparatively, but I mean there were those 
"fabulous four" Diana McPartlin, Magnus, Jason something and (I 
seem to remember) a brother of his, or were there other? I hope 
Magnus can give us the final and true version of how it got 
started,  "The Gospel according to Magnus" ;-D.  How the 
Discussion works to-day? At times it is pretty thin Qualitywise, 
every possible topic except Pirsig, but then it checks itself and 
runs perfectly. 

Speaking of Harleys, is the "American Chopper" TV series still 
shown (on the "Discovery Channel") in the USA?

As said to Ham, people often have different suggestions of what 
"equals experience". Ham's entry is consciousness, but it can't 
hover above existence forever, it has to become a metaphysics, 
and then one realizes that dynamic/static (D/S) is the only 
division that challenges SOM, because a S/O-divided 
consciousness (for ex.) is indistinguishable from ordinary SOM. 
And one realizes further that if a new D/S (whatever) 
metaphysics  is to replace it, SOM's subjective (consciousness) 
will disappear, as will its objective. Consciousness' pace in the 
MOQ is as part of intellect's S/O repertoire. The highest and best 
value there is, yet static, and subordinate to the DQ/SQ system 
itself (the MOQ). IMO.

For a time at least.
