Andre said to Marsha:

... it seems to me you are making the same mistake Bodvar made: you are equating experience with the MOQ. ..But the MOQ is NOT experience! It is not your experience. It may point towards it but it is not your experience. For goodness sake. It is an intellectual representation of it. An idea. ... The old adage again: DQ is NOT to be confused with sq. sq is NOT to be confused with DQ. '


Yep. That's exactly what Pirsig said in his 2005 summary of the MOQ (Which Bo thinks is "stupid"):"The Metaphysics of Quality itself is static and should be separated from the Dynamic Quality it talks about. Like the rest of the printed philosophic tradition it doesn't change from day to day, although the world it talks about does."
Pirsig says the same thing in ZAMM and Lila and Lila's Child. He's been quite clear and consistent on this point but some people won't see it no matter how many ways it's said.

Sigh.
