Bodvar:

More agreement. This is "the best of Pirsig's", but then he wavers
and enters SOM's concept-intellect again and it sounds as if
everything is ideas (look to annotation 97 in "Lila's Child".

Andre:Ok Bodvar, here's the annotation:

Annotation #97:
Within the MOQ, the IDEA that static patterns of value start with the
inorganic level is considered a good IDEA. But the MOQ itself doesn't start
before sentience. The MOQ, like science, starts with human experience.
Remember the early talk in ZMM about Newton's Law of Gravity? Scientific
laws without people to write them are a scientific impossibility. (Robert
Pirsig)

You are going too fast for me Bodvar: WHERE in this annotation does Pirsig
'enter SOM's concept-intellect again' and WHAT exactly 'sounds as if
everything is ideas'?

Regards
Andre
