  Marsha to Andre:

Marsha previously:

My primary mission is not to support  'contemporary pragmatism'.

Marsha now:
I support being pragmatic.

But that doesn't mean I am going to adopt dmb's notion of Contemporary Pragmatism.

Andre:
You are beginning to adopt Bodvar's method of extricating yourself from an untenable position
whereby you lose a sense of what you are talking about, the implications of what you are talking
about, and the direction that it takes you. You begin to invent things, twist things, bend things
etc, to try to get yourself out of admitting you are lost.
Before long you'll have invented six different streams of pragmatism as decoys.

Dmb is talking about pragmatism plain and simple, William James's pragmatism the one the MOQ subscribes to
and indeed has improved upon.

The reason why I did not copy the 2.7 section for all to see is because I have to do it by hand, and it is a
little lengthy and, I know that in response I get a one-line dismissal.

Let's just say that Bodvar has his MOQ and that we now have Marsha's pragmatism.

Marsha:
I have repeatedly stated I am study the MoQ as a bridge between East and West.

Andre:
Yes you have. And very recently you said you try to do this from a Buddhist perspective and a little
while ago you stated that you are not a Buddhist nor an expert in it.

Have you actually read Northrop's 'The Meeting of East and West'? It is the book young Phaedrus read on
the ship taking him back to America after his stint in Korea. It is referred to in ZMM.
Mr. Pirsig calls himself a student of Northrop. It may be a good idea to start there to give yourself
an overall context within which to place the(scholarly side)of the MOQ.
