Hi Marsha,

Glad you enjoyed the article. The only problem I have in believing experience
creates the world is how come I can't experience having twice as much money?
Somewhere Pirsig admitted the MOQ was in the same ballpark as philosophical
Idealism, but frankly I have a hard time buying it. I think my cat UTOE is
perfectly capable of being in and of this world without anyone observing him.
On the other hand, sometimes I think mine is the only world. Maybe you have
the answer. If so, please share. Thanks.

Platt
