[MD] DQ and the Free Market

[Christoffer Ivarsson]

I'm gonna tell you all something again, regarding DQ and regarding the 
morality of patterns. Please bare with me once more.

Platt just selectively quoted Lila again in favour of the view that the free 
market is a Divine thing sanctioned by the God called Dynamic Quality.

fair enough, fair enough. But stop and look at this for a moment. What do 
you MEAN by Dynamic? You can't really mean anything, since nothing can be 
said about dynamic quality, so the only thing we can say is that something 
that exists in our static world is more or less open to reacting/following 
to Dynamic Quality.

I hereby denounce the notion that the free market as such holds any value 
due to it being dynamic, as no pattern, or institution can BE dynamic. We 
are screwing up our metaphysic here, as well as sanctioning irrationality by 
following Platt's line of "reasoning".

Mr Pirsig does indeed write about how patterns can become too static - and 
that is true regarding the social pattern that is the economy as well as all 
the other patterns - but what that MEANS is that the patterns becomes too 
rigid, so as to not be able to gain more DQ input - the input that is always 
there, and that SQ perceives from time to time as a Quality stimuli not 
included in their static view of Quality, but then of course incorporated 
since they cannot reach DQ.

This is quite basic  - all patterns should be adaptable, flexible enough to 
be able to see new Quality ways, should the need arise -

but to go from this to saying that a social institution such as the free 
market is more moral because it mores around all the time and is supposedly 
able to react to new Quality input gained from DQ - that's stupidity. Pure 
and simple. Because at the core, the free market is still at social level 
pattern, and the DQ input that is gained through it's movements will be 
incorporated into SOCIAL LEVEL frameworks.

Get it?

Example - DQ "hits":
"Oh, people want this stuff - Woah, that's a new thing! Never thought of 
that before, let's sell it and make millions and perhaps destroy the world 
in the process mygodhowfuckingdynamicthisis!"
