[MD] Interpretative hypocrisy

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Platt]
Another illustration of hypocrisy in condemning the SOL interpretation of the
MOQ because Pirsig does not support "SOM-as intellect." Nor does he support an
animals-included social level.

[Arlo]
Which is why I've said in Arlo's MOQ sociality includes certain non-human
species. And why Bo should just say that in "Bo's MOQ" the intellectual level
is SOM.

Instead, Bo and the SIMians waste their time in an illegitimate pursuit at
interpretive authority, leading to the ever-embarrassing claim that Bo speaks
for Pirsig's pre-hospitalized self better than Pirsig himself, turning Pirsig
into a "weak interpreter" of his own ideas.

As I said, "The MOQ" doesn't say anything, Pirsig does, I do, you do, Bo does.
WE do the saying. The books and writings of Pirsig constitute HIS ideas on what
a metaphysics of Quality would be. 

When your thoughts differ, which is valid, then you are advancing... dun dun
DUN!... YOUR thoughts.

Valid: In Pirsig's MOQ, the intellectual level is not defined by SOL. In Bo's
MOQ the intellectual level IS defined by SOL. Which is better? Pirsig's or
Bo's? 

Invalid: In Pirsig's MOQ the intellectual level is defined by SOL because Bo
interprets some what Pirsig wrote regarding his pre-hospitalized thoughts as
"meaning" the SOL, and so the modern-day Pirsig is a "weak interpreter" of his
own thoughts.
