Howdy,

I feel as if I've entered a home when the couple is quarreling.

I've been reading, really scanning, Bo's posts as far back as the
archives go.  It seems that he formed his synthesis even before this
site began.  And from the near beginnings of this site he has acted as
a catalyst for a fuller understanding of the metaphysics of quality.

His ideas, while based in Pirsig's thought, are a synthesis of his
understanding of Pirsig's two books.  A synthesis, a unique idea, is
composed of two or more items and is not the same or the sum of those
items.

Since he cannot let go of his creation, I see two choices for him as
dictated by the source of this site, Robert M. Pirsig.  He can either
write his own metaphysics or pursue enlightenment.  By enlightenment I
mean a form of insanity.  My hope is that he will write his
metaphysics.  Frankly, as I understand it, enlightenment is small.  It
is the spark that lights the fire.  If he needs to crib or borrow from
Pirsig, I don't see how anyone here can object given that the
metaphysics of quality is dynamic.

Allow him to post here and give him a hyperlink to his own site.  Even
Pirsig admits that when reading the philosophy of old he wished that
he were there and that the arguments had gone another way.

So much for lurking,
NDP

P.S.  Really, back to lurking.
