[MD] Where was Quality before Pirsig?

Bo said:
But the MOQ is not mysticism. It offers a new metaphysical platform where the old SOM is relegated the place of its own highest static level, but subordinate to the DQ/SQ reality - ought to at least.

gav replied:
the MOQ is an essentially mystical monism.

dmb says:
Exactly. And by trying to interpret the MOQ as if it were not, Bo has created a giant ball of confusion. I would complain that Bo's reading has done MORE harm than good, but that would be an understatement. I don't see anything good about it.

But he's a pretty good painter. Hell of a lot better than me, anyway.

By the way, as Pirsig said, before Newton apples did not obey the law of gravity. They just fell. And so it is with Quality before Pirsig.
