[MD] Why isn't the hot stove obvious?

[Andre Broersen]

Bodvar to Bruce:
But - alas - Pirsig obviously thinks the MOQ some distorting of Quality..

Andre:
Hi Bodvar and Bruce, hope you do not mind me picking up on this. I do
not understand your objection Bodvar; Pirsig has made it very clear
that the MoQ is an idea. A static intellectual PoV.
The 'distortion' is taking place at the level of the first line of the
Tao Te Ching: 'The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao.To
paraphrase: the Quality that can be named is not the eternal Quality.

Are you not confusing the dynamic/Buddhist view with the
'conventional' (static) view? (See Nagarjuna's The Middle Way).

Yours
Andre
