[MD] Quantum computing

Now the MOQ level has arrived and people can think about intellect as 
a static value pure and simple, thus bypassing paradox, recursions, 
strange loops and infinite regress

[Arlo]
I'm sorry, Platt, gonna have to disagree with you on this. The only 
way to "bypass" strange loops is to avoid "intellection" altogether. 
The "out" in the MOQ is the pre-intellectual, "mystical" inclusion 
brought in via Buddhism (for example). One simply can't "think about 
thinking", even using MOQ-terminology, and avoid paradox, recursion and loops.

What the MOQ does is make evident the "event horizon" surrounding 
Quality. When Pirsig says "all this is just an analogy", he includes 
within it the MOQ itself. Sure, the MOQ gives us a better way to 
intellectually carve-up our experiences, and does not divide us from 
the world as does SOM, but as an intellectual system, as a 
metaphysics, its descriptions can contain experience without paradox. 
Indeed, the key difference is that while SOM is blind to this, and 
actively seeks an intellectual "literal truth", the MOQ embraces it, 
and says that that core experience can only be seen through analogy, 
metaphor, art, can only be glimpsed pre-intellectually.
