[MD] MOQ Recursion

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Marsha]
I might agree with you that it is all analogy, including every sentence you've
written.  Not this, not that!!!   This makes it very easy to dismiss your
rhetoric too.  

[Arlo]
Does this provide you with an excuse to be able to say anything at all about
Pirsig's metaphysical speculations?

In any event, the agreement is null and void the minute you agree with Bo that
"All this is just an analogy, except the MOQ". At that point, you've simply
turned the Word into a God.

Pirsig's metaphysical musings are, like black and white horses of Socrates,
"analogies" for understanding the indefinable void, as are all the metaphysics
ever written and all that will ever be written. 

But if I say, "the levels in Pirsig's metaphysics are not patterns of value", I
would expect others to question how such a thing can be in a "world" described
of consisting only of DQ/SQ. The same way a mathematician would point out the
fallacy of my claim that Arlo's New Math escapes recursion.
