Well -- at last. You admit you disagree with Pirsig's including teleological
theories within the MOQ. I was wondering if you would ever get around to that.

[Arlo]
I don't make any claims about not agreeing with Pirsig on several accounts. But
I am still wondering, if all these "teleological theories" are correct, that
just proves purpose is relative. What's funny is that someone who ignores half
of what this man wrote thinks that catching me disagreeing with one sentence is
revelatory. But whatever. 

[Platt]
All Pirsig is proposing is evolution towards greater versatility and freedom.
The other stuff you imagine is just that -- your imagination. 

[Arlo]
Ah, so THIS teleological "purpose" is right and others are "imaginary". Guess
in addition to your volitional and intentional Quali-god, you now have a
Quali-religion. Good luck with that.
