[MD] Changes in 2011

[Andre Broersen]

Tim to Andre:

Andre previously: My take on this is that we are here to discuss Robert Pirsig's MOQ and
no-one else's!

Tim
RMP himself has admitted that 'you never get it right', so I fail to see
how that AIM would be a reasonable one.

Andre:
Are you suggesting that the aim of this MD, to discuss Pirsig's  metaphysics of Quality, is an unreasonable one? Should we just forget about discussing Pirsig's metaphysics because 'you never get it right'?

Tim:
Ha Ha Ha!  I would like to see an RMP reference to back this!The reason for all existence - the universe, human life, etc. - is to come to communal intellectual agreement of RMP's MoQ.  I guess once that happens life will just be annulled!

Andre:
I honestly did not expect ridicule to come from you Tim. I am not talking about the universe nor am I talking about the 'reason for all existence'. I am talking about what we, as a community of interested persons, are here for on this MD.

Tim:
How is it*reasonable*  in the light of DQ even to have such intellectual discussions about metaphysics, Andre?

Andre:
Pirsig has made it abundantly clear that his MOQ is a static intellectual pattern of value. Metaphysics is something you can talk about.

Tim:
again, I think you have missed the point of Quality.

Andre:
Do you know 'the point' of Quality??

Tim:
bunk!  the center of MD is Horse.

Andre:
Hmmm, I think Horse will giggle at this.

Tim:
intellectual reasonableness... discussion... nothing.  Quality.  then
maybe we can recover some intellectual reasonableness, and discussion.
Just like RMP found that to get past the SOM he had to jump outside the
box, if you want to find Quality I suggest you jump outside the box of
your intellectual discussions.

Andre:
I find this observation truly remarkable. What are you doing on a site like this discussing the static intellectual pattern of Quality Tim? Where are you?
