[MD] Think like a baby

All:

There's a book out called "The Philosophical Baby." The Boston Globe 
has an interesting review at:

_baby_mind/?page=full

If you read it I think you'll be reminded of Pirsig's thoughts about the 
world as seen by babies in Chapter 9 of Lila. Perhaps you'll recall these 
words:

"This, Phaedrus thought, was why little children are usually quicker to 
perceive Dynamic Quality than old people, why beginners are usually 
quicker than experts, why primitive people are sometimes quicker than 
those of "advanced" cultures."

To perceive DQ -- isn't that our goal? The article suggests how we just 
might be able to do that more often.

Regards,
Platt
