[MD] MOQ and the Future: An Inquiry into Usefulness

[markhsmit]

Hi Ron,
I think we would all agree that MOQ is a model of reality.  The moment
a model is visualized, it becomes much less than that it is representing.
MOQ takes modern scientific knowledge, some written philosophical history,
and a little Eastern spiritualism to create a painting of reality which then
attempts to explain everything.  This explanation is obviously limited by
how our brain works.

A while back I was perusing Renselle's Quantonics page.  I thought to 
myself, why make this so complicated?  It would seem to me that the
author of this site was struggling to understand Quality, and trying to
fit everything into a single picture.  This is of course possible, since
ultimately any connections can be made.  And all such connections do
indeed exist since ultimately everything is connected; in fact this is all one
big thing.

My post does not necessarily detract from the scope of MOQ (although
I think there are much easier and more humble ways of explaining
reality), but instead to ask, if MOQ is a good way to look at reality,
what does it do?  Does it give direction?  Is it something you talk to
your children about to help them through a tough time?  Is there
a fundamental reason why MOQ needs to be furthered and taught?

Platt,
I think Craigs point is that one may ask "why" in response to every and any explaination
that is given in an infinite regress. And to my knowledge "ultimate" reality is unknowable
in any ultimate sense. Experience being the closest one may get, which is indefineable.
Ultimate explainations are for those objectivly minded folks who believe such things are attainable.
Here's the distinction, Pirsigs MoQ provides another interpetation of experience not
an ultimate explaination of reality. Thats the fallacy.
