[MD] From Psychology to Empiricism

[Andre Broersen]

  Marsha to Andre:

"As mentioned above, Pirsig considers any philosophy that asserts that reality is composed from mind or matter or a combination of both is an SOM philosophy."
     (McWatt, PhD Thesis 2005, p119)

Andre:
So what are you saying Marsha? Or are you, as ever, continuing your soliloquize?

The point of the whole thing is that reality is to be found in EXPERIENCE...and as soon as you are trying to find it and have found it, it is gone. Reality isn't 'composed' of anything. Do you need your SOL shit to have that confirmed? Christ almighty, for fuck sake, do not bother us with the 'I miss Bo' crap!

Pirsig 'observed' in passing...what had happened (and he named it SOM) and you, and Bo, and Mary have stuck to that as Revelation itself. For goodness sake...this is the MOQ. Some on this list have passed that subject-object stuff long, long ago...as certainly dmb and Arlo, Ron and Dan are trying to make clear. ( of course I have missed people...that is the intellectual level for ya).
