Given this premise and RMP's that "S/O- thinking" 
dominates: Are we to conclude you believe all* thinking is "low Quality"?

[Arlo]
Not at all. MOQ-esque thinking ala Pirsig, 
Dusenberry, etc. is "higher Quality" than S/O-dominant thinking.

[Dave]
All to mean such a vast majority as to make the 
good stuff insignificant in any meaningful way.

[Arlo]
Again, not at all. But I am reminded of this passage from ZMM.

"Phædrus remembered a line from Thoreau: "You 
never gain something but that you lose 
something." And now he began to see for the first 
time the unbelievable magnitude of what man, when 
he gained power to understand and rule the world 
in terms of dialectic truths, had lost. He had 
built empires of scientific capability to 
manipulate the phenomena of nature into enormous 
manifestations of his own dreams of power and 
wealth...but for this he had exchanged an empire 
of understanding of equal magnitude: an 
understanding of what it is to be a part of the 
world, and not an enemy of it." (ZMM)
