[MD] Heads or tails?

[Ron Kulp]

[Platt]
Pirsig defines what he means by "moral" in several places. This is from
the Copleston Annotations:

"Ferrier's first move is to look for the absolute starting-point of
metaphysics in a proposition which states the one invariable and
essential feature in all knowledge, and which cannot be denied without
contradiction. For the MOQ this is, 'Some things are better than
others.'  Every infant knows this before he learns his first word."

Once you see where Pirsig is coming from, it's not hard to see how
morality (some things are better than others) underpins each of the
independent levels. Example:
It's better to evolve to homo sapiens than remain swamp scum.

I would have to agree....although I do have my days when swamp scum
sounds inviting.
