Bodvar to Dave T (Mar 20):

This gets a bit ridiculous, the MOQ postulates the DQ/SQ dualism
(the fact that both are different aspects of the same underlying
Quality can be no issue) Then there is no immediate experience more
immediate than DQ unless we have some "trinity". In the train
analogy the locomotive and the cars he calls Classic Quality  (he
actually says classic knowledge but it must be Quality, no?) while the
leading edge is Romantic Quality. This can safely be translated into
DQ/SQ ... no?

He actually says that the tracks are Quality, but that's a goof, if so we
have the "trinity" again like in the "Quality/MOQ" meta-metaphysics
where the big QUALITY becomes the leading edge, the train = SQ
and the track = the "static DQ" of the MOQ. Your "immediate
experience containing both DQ and SQ" is a variety of this
monstrosity. God what a pathetic show just to avoid the MOQ.

Andre:

Hi Bodvar, Dave T, ALL
Actually I think you contradicted yourself here Bodvar. In the first
paragraph you say about the DQ/SQ dualism: 'the fact that both are
different aspects of the same underlying Quality can be no issue'.

Andre:
This is my understanding as well, but then in the second paragraph you
chide Pirsig for calling the tracks 'Quality' and label this statement a
'goof'.
The tracks are the Quality 'upon' which the static quality patterns 'ride'.
They are, as you say: 'the same underlying Quality'.
And the leading edge is the place where all the 'friction' occurs, all the
action is. The meeting of the locomotive (with all the boxcars) 'causing' sparks of
Dynamic Quality to 'fly up' and challenge the direction of the locomotive.
The point of infinite possibilities. And,the analogues the locomotive
has already gathered,will determine its direction.This will be based on the
evaluations of these 'infinite possibilities'.

So, from a static perspective you have the DQ/SQ interplay, the dance of Lila.

 From a Dynamic perspective you have pure experience.DQ.

Imho.

Andre,
in hope that this post will arrive in a more presentable state than the last one.
Let's just say that Mozilla and I are getting to know each other.
