The MoQ is a shift in world-view so great in difference from the SOM 
world-view ...

[Arlo asked]
Its a simple question, do you think, as you've stated, that both the 
MOQ and SOM are "worldviews"?

[Marsha]
Not playing.  If you would like to explain the point that I'd be 
addressing by answering, I might consider responding, but otherwise: no.

[Arlo]
Right, how could I forget. Marsha likes to say things, but she can't 
explain or support them. And if she sees that she may be wrong, she 
"meows" and sticks her head in the sand...

What is your point, anyway? That the MOQ is a "shift in worldview"? 
Of course it is. Is it comparable to the change in view from a 
pre-Copernican to a Copernican revolution? Krimel's cautions aside, 
of course it is. Copernicus did not "expand reality", as Bo claims, 
he changed the way we see, the way we interpret experience. Like the 
creation of polar mapping coordinates, another of Pirsig's examples.

So I agree with you and Platt, but this is only because all of this 
points to the MOQ as an "expansion of rationality", a shift in world 
views, a new way of interpreting experience, and not to Bo's SIM nonsense.
