Let me see.....Pirsig says that the universe is made up of quality.
And that it's a moral order. That proteins developed because that
particular combination of "stuff" (inorganic patterns of value) had
more value (was better) than other options. This continues on and on.
So, it would seem that whatever exists today is there because it was
better than whatever else was there, no? And doesn't that make the
universe moral? Everything that exists, does so because it has value?
How can the universe be anything other than moral (ultimately) if
everything in it exists only because it has value?
So, it seems that it's not that there are things that are moral and
things that are not, but that everything that exists is moral by the
simple fact that it has value (or it wouldn't exist) - the difference
is that some things are more moral (have more value) than others.
Am I making sense?
