[MD] WHY MoQ IS PARALYzED

[ian glendinning]

I like those suggestions Ron.

I've said repeatedly that some of my favourite Pirsig writing is on
lingusitics / etymology, of key quality related words (Good, Art/Rta,
Fair, etc.) and that is at the root of misplaced expectations to
achieve definitional conclusions in our interminable philosophical
debates. (Personally, I find the fact that the "conclusions" remain
circular is a very good sign that circularity is a good. The
frustration is with those that still expect the circle to lead
anywhere except the circle.)

It's all language and all language is metaphors (dead or alive) - you
can approach understanding by using it but never arrive at a
destination called definition.

And what is good ?
Good is a noun.
Must ponder that more.
