[MD] EvO~lution and a VaLue centered metaphysics

Marsha:
Intellectual patterns are a subject/object process.  

Pirsig:
But we see subjects and objects as 
reality for the same reason we see the world right-side up although the lenses 
of our eyes actually present it to our brains upside down. We get so used to 
certain patterns of interpretation we forget the patterns are there.

 I'm not sure a relativist believes that s/o = intellect.
I think a relativist believes that intellectual patterns are 
relative to the individual.

contrarian? perhaps?

Whoopee!  I'm a relativist. Oh, but I said that months ago.

"'What holds a person together is his patterns of likes and dislikes,' he
said. 
'And what holds a society together is a pattern of likes and dislikes. And
what 
holds the whole world together is patterns of likes and dislikes. History is

just abstracted from biography. And so are all the social sciences. In the
past 
anthropology has been centered around collective objects and I'm interested 
in probing around to see if it can be better said in terms of individual
values. 
I've just had feelings that maybe the ultimate truth about the world isn't 
history or sociology but biography,' he said."
