[MD] Some historical perspective

[mark_maxwell at talktalk.net]

Hi Mark (nice to have you around again, BTW) and Bo.



squonk: hi Ian,

Mark, you said quite succinctly (of Bo to Platt)
"It seems to me, and I may be wrong, that Bo introduces ambiguity when
he fails to recognise there are more intellectual patterns than
subjects and objects?"

That seems about it. He seems intent on working with that "logical
definition" of intellect, whilst ignoring that this leaves all the
more interesting patterns of value out of his picture. I can't believe
that is either what Pirsig intended or better / less-ambiguous than
what Pirsig intended.

Regards
Ian



squonk: It would be good to try and go through this with Bo - SOL is his baby - but it would seem that he would rather not. I respect his decision.



All the best,

squonk
