[MD] DMB and Me

[Matt Kundert]

Right. How much time have you spent explaining how you 
don't have time to explain anything? And may I remind you 
what it is you don't have time to explain? Your views. The 
reasons for dismissing Pirsig's central term. That's what you 
can't be bothered to do here at MOQ.org.

And yet it's me who's off on the wrong foot?

Outrageous.

Matt:
M-hm, m-hm, m-hm.  Yes, see, this is what I can 
handle--small, to the point, something I can really digest 
and get my puny brain around.

First question--how much time I've spent explaining my lack 
of time: way too much, let me tell you, but it's easy time, 
not the more arduous time it takes to say something new 
and substantive.  (I have high standards, I guess.)

Second rhetorical question--what I don't have time for: 
"[my] views" (I can't put my finger on it, but there's 
something ironic there...).  That's tough, because I haven't 
been asked for an honest explanation of my views.  
Certainly not an easy one.  Because, honestly, I don't have 
a long, expository articulation of my views, aside from stuff 
on my bloggy-dingy.  Well-defined, catechisms of views is 
largely not what amateur philosophy is about, hence the 
shift from ZMM to Lila.  

You're so hard on my, David, I just can't do it.  Sniff, sniff.

Second expansion of "second rhetorical question"--my 
reasons for dismissing Pirsig's central term.

Yikes, I'm sorry, I hadn't realized I had.  Try this:

You won't like it, but you never wanted to.

Third expansion of "second rhetorical question"--what I 
won't do at moq.org.

Heh--that's just moronic.

I have recent glosses on my numerous essays on moq.org 
here:

But, perhaps, you meant the MD.  How I won't explain 
myself at the MD.

Let me ask this question of the crowd:

How can we know so much about me if I'm so mysterious 
and will never explain myself?  Seems weird.  Of course, if 
one was always looking in the wrong direction, or across 
from a burning bridge on the other side of Steve's river, 
say, then maybe not so weird.

Am I being elusive?  Allusive?  Why would somebody care 
if I was?  Is my opinion important somehow?

I doubt it.

Matt

p.s.  I love being called "outrageous."  Gives me a good 
excuse to start behaving like it.
