[MD] The Trouble With Wilber

[Krimel]

[Platt]
Wilber uses the metaphor of Flatland to describe the shortcomings of science
which deals with surfaces all the way down -- all span and no depth. For
science all is particulate, right down to quantum particles which exist in
spooky "potentialities." Thought on which science depends is not, of course,

particulate -- a fact blithely ignored. Why? Because science hasn't a clue
as to how thought emerges from a lump of meat.  

[Krimel]
Odd then that the emergent hierarchy Pirsig comes up with follows a clearly
scientific path of development from the inorganic to the intellectual. 

Science does tell us how thought arises from a lump of meat. You just don't
like the answers because they don't tell you why.
