Steve,
I have my interpretation of the MoQ, and where it agrees with Bo it agrees with Bo, and
that is that. If I change my mind it will be because I change my mind, and not to be
included in a consensus. Here's two quotes:
that I like:
``Any philosophic explanation of Quality is going to be both false and
true precisely because it is a philosophic explanation. The process of
philosophic explanation is an analytic process, a process of breaking
something down into subjects and predicates. What I mean (and
everybody else means) by the word quality cannot be broken down
into subjects and predicates. This is not because Quality is so mysterious
but because Quality is so simple, immediate and direct.
(ZMM, Chapter 20)
"The question of "How do you justify the statement that Quality
equals reality?" was the best one. The correct answer from a
MOQ perspective is, "by the harmony it produces", but this
answer is only for people who already understand the MOQ.
Those who don't can't see the harmony and for them this
answer is meaningless."
(Pirsig, 2000)
I cannot say this of you, but neither Andre, nor dmb seem to display
a sense of harmony.
Thank you.
Marsha

I don't see how a reasonable person could dismiss Pirsig or defend Skutvik on this point. It's hard to imagine how the evidence could be more convincing. It's explicit, unequivocal and directed at his particular misinterpretation.
