[MD] Where was Quality before Pirsig?

[Ron Kulp]

Ron:
>Thus making pre-intellect,
>dynamic quality and quality itself merely static intellectual patterns
>nothing more. rendering all of these terms null and void within it's
own system.

Steve:
As concepts, they are static intellectual patterns of value but they are
intended to point beyond intellect.


Ron:
What is it that it is pointing to? 

If states of awareness are static intellectual patterns, it leaves no
Place for Quality. That is why I asked the question: what are the words
Pointing to if this your opinion. You contend that the words point to
something outside static intellectual patterns yet you state that
nothing
Exists outside of these static intellectual patterns. I would like to
Know which is it? Or at least what are the words pointing to?
Thanks
