[MD] Wanted: A proper foundation

[Steve Peterson]

Hi Ham,

Quality as a monism is an intellectual postulate. You can accept it and 
see where it takes you, or you can leave it be. This forum is concerned 
with seeing where this intellectual postulate takes us. If you are 
unwilling to accept it for the sake of argument and at least try to 
understand what Pirsig means by it then your posts will be of little 
interest to most people here.

In other words, if your arguments took the form "if we accept this 
postulate it leads to these problems" then I would be interested in the 
discussion. But yours always take the form "I don't want to accept this 
postulate because that is just not how I understand the term value." 
You are playing a different game than the other members of this forum. 
There is just nothing to say to someone who is not interested in 
Pirsig's Quality.

Best,
Steve
