[MD] Static Self

[Ron Kulp]

[Platt]
I assume you've read Gav's paean to Pantheism, the philosophy rooted in
the 
glories of the biological level. Seems that's where Gav finds DQ in 
abundance.  If I'm wrong, I look forward to Gav correcting me. 

Ron:
Does not RMP point to pre-intellectual experience as being the most
moral? doesn't Pirsig put dynamic experience before social-intellectual
patterns? I think you might be confusing what Pirsig said about static
moral
patterns with dynamic moral patterns. Pirsig states that static moral
patterns are essential for intellectual development but he also states
that
dynamic experience comes before these static patterns.

Ron adds:
Hello Platt, 
Been awhile, hope all is well with you and yours.
What I'm trying to say is that Pirsig allows us to value 
both static moral patterns and dynamic moral patterns
without conflict. The mistake is taking either of them
as an absolute while forsaking the other.
in SOM this seems to be an either/or choice but
in MoQ both may be valued without contrariety.
