Not sure exactly what the label "Scientism" means Krimel, but I find
myself agreeing with Ham and Platt.
I'm not defending Ham's essentialism, but a metaphysics is not
"testable" in the falsifiable "scientific method" sense but is
indirectly testable by its fit with everything else observable, and all
manner of related inductive and deductive reasoning.

But that is actuallly what is happening with the concept of negation
and Wilburs
Ontology, that through falsability they arrive at a explaination of the
workings of "source".
Pirsig takes value down to "dynamic quality" an lets it go. Wilbur and
the like take
it one step further and use true/false logic to set it on the firm
foundation of "nothingness".
I think this is where Krimmel battles.
Pirsigs take on "betterness" seems to be an extension of the theory
Of "molecular self assembley", rather than a means to an end or an
"omega point".
