Thanks Roger - just what I've tried to say in the past: the 'science' that
Pirsig takes against so, is exactly what Popper criticised for resting on
too many unquestioned axioms, and which therefore is sometimes too 'sloppy'
and..un-scientific!
Incidentally, on another note:
Almost anything can be an analogue computer for almost anything else, can't
it?
and:
Wasn't the original idea of gravity bound up with notions of an 'unseen
force', and therefore a hangover from the animism prevalent in ancient
Greece?
cheers all
