SA:  Platt, use some common sense.  I didn't say Bo hijacked a plane or anything.  I'm pointing out he's trying to take the moq for himself, and rid Pirsig of even knowing what the moq is.  In my dictionary, "taking something over" means hijack, which incidently a different definition does point out that hijacking can be a legal issue, but I'm not talking about that.  I can tell your out for an argument.  Do you still not like "analogies"?  curious.


Platt:

> Bull."

SA:  What's that mean?

Platt:
> Finally, what "core issues" is Bo "tearing down?"

SA:  Bo's trying to say the moq is about s/o (the SOM objective kind) and that the moq is essentialist (he doesn't recognize the undefined dq).  They latter is a recent argument of his that dmb was involved with.  The former strikes at the core of what the moq is arguing against from the very beginning, middle and end.  Can't get much more contrary than that.  Have you not read any of Ron's posts or mine or Ian's or dmb's on this issue?  Probably have, and you'll find something to argue against this probably, so, I'm not in for a debate at the moment.  I would say, lurk, read the posts on Bo, especially the recent ones that Ron has put forth.  Their enlightening and as you can see these discussions on these issues have been on going and have taken many, many posts to fully discuss.  So, I'm not sitting here all day and night to explain everything.  Sorry.  But if you lurk, to help guide you in a good direction if this answer doesn't satisfy you, you'll
 see more and more about where Bo has transformed the moq into something else that I would say would mean Bo needs to come up with a new name for his philosophy and stop saying it is the moq.
