[MD] Bo's weak versus strong interpretation of quantum physiks

[Krimel]

[Platt]
Thanks. I think I get the picture. It's a fairly static system of
establishing 
belief. But, as Pirsig pointed out, its saving grace is willingness to
change 
in the light of new evidence, although that's sometimes tough to do. At the 
bottom of it all is trust in those who produce the empirical data who, being

human, may have hidden agendas. One can wonder what's in it for them.    

[Krimel]
I don't think this is all that static and I think the various systems that
involve these approach are set up to allow dynamic answers to emerge from
the process.

Of course humans have agenda's hidden or otherwise but in most cases of
honest inquiry the idea is to either bring those agendas to light so as to
factor them into the process or to control for whatever influence they might
have. Science for example is inherently skeptical in is approach and it
treats its findings provisionally. I think you on the other hand are
suggesting that because people have agendas, they must be self serving and
honest inquiry is not possible. This may not be what you think or what you
are suggesting but if it is I think it moves past skepticism into cynicism.
