[MD] Thus spoke Lila

[Andre Broersen]

Horse to Platt:

So Bo's wrong.

Andre:
Hi Horse, Steve, Arlo and all MOQ'ers. Are we going to start this silly argument up again? I am afraid that the Platt's and Marsha's of this world just will not see the fallacy of Bo's position, the SOL or this weird notion that the intellectual level IS SOM.

You cannot argue them out of it despite even Mr. Pirsig's surprise at the suggestion...see annotations bla bla bla.

I would suggest that the content of their posts suggests enough...steeped in SOM. Which adds empirical support to Pirsig's observation that believing is seeing. They speak from their own point of view (SOM) and not and never from an MOQ perspective.That is why conversing with them is so very frustrating most times.

And all because they simply cannot accept:

1) that the MOQ is an intellectual pattern of value and
2) that the MOQ is NOT reality. (If I remember correctly Bodvar even suggested that the MOQ IS experience)

Oh dear.
