I don't see how you could possibly come up that that conclusion from 
anything I've said.

The "content" or essence of being is Value.  Value is sensed 
psycho-emotionally by the  individual self, which is a value-sensible agent. 
What it "perceives" as existence is value objectivized as being by 
experience and intellection.  There is no "pure thought", since all thought 
and experience is relational and differentiated.

How is my ontology "empty"?  Not only is it meaningful from the human 
perspective, it offers a primary source of creation and a "valuistic 
purpose" for the life experience, neither of which is suggested in Pirsig's 
MoQ.
