[MD] Freedom and the Good

Hi John, Ron, Andre, 

I think John is on to something. Pirsig calls Quality a moral force and 
refers to the creative power of the Dynamic force a number of times. 
Since it's a natural force, it's like gravity and other fundamental forces of 
the cosmos. To argue that no one can precisely measure this force is 
not to prove it doesn't exist. What proves it does exist is that the world 
would be unrecognizable without it.
