[MD] Future of MOQ

[Ant McWatt]

As I implied before Jan-Anders, you're asking the wrong person about this issue!  Though, as you stated, I agree that 'MOQ & Time' paper would be a good starting point for discussion.

I'll tell you what, presuming Horse is OK with this, if someone reading this downloaded (and saved) the original webpage from robertpirsig.org (when it was properly operational pre-2015) maybe they could be kind enough to paste the text of the paper in a post here.  At least everyone subscribing to MOQ Discuss could read what we're talking about.  in fact, Horse can publish it properly at his website; that is if he wants to and (forgive the pun) has the... time!  😉

Kind regards,

Ant

Yes I’ve got them since long. I thought that if it was available for all it could be a good material to start off from where everyone could take part.

Like you I just want to get on with updating robertpirsig.org and 'taking the MOQ further' but there's little I can do about it for now if they're respectively having a breakdown/break-up or simply too busy/looking after elderlty parents or whatever the latest excuse it is...  There's an old phrase: 'If you want something done well, do it yourself'!!! 😉

> After these mourning years my mind's a bit rusty. I forgot to also mention the essay The Role of Evolution, Time and Order in Robert Pirsig’s "Metaphysics of Quality” by ANTHONY MCWATT of Liverpool University, & ERIC PRIEZKALNS with Responses by ROBERT M. PIRSIG JANUARY 1999

> My own book about Money (Time is..? :-) isn’t mentioned anywhere and with it's massive lack of response I think you can leave that.. excerpt one little quotation in it from Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan ch XIII:
> --- For such is the nature of men, that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty, or more eloquent, or more learned;
> Yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves: For they see their own wit at hand, and other mens at a distance. ---

> During the years we have been talking around so many aspects on MOQ and Metaphysics. Thousands of intense threads about SOM vs MOQ and so on.

> Now it is time to look further. The Corona crisis is pointing at some interesting aspects.
> There are 4 layers in the MOQ perspective of the evolution. Viruses and political issues housed at different levels. One applicable issue to point at the MOQ-perspective could be like this: Why is it impossible to argue with a virus?
