PS -- How can a fan of the MOQ be an anarchist? this makes no sense and
undermines the top two levels (lowering your proposed solution below even the
social)
Hi Roger,
This wasn't directed at me but I would like to comment.
I found myself simultaeneously agreeing and disagreeing with this statment.
Anarchy like every other group values something. They seem to value chaos over
order. While the intellect values order over chaos. As Pirsig says each level
has value in restraining the lower level. I think the fifth level is more of
a neutral level where it does not value chaos or order. Please correct me but
I have a vague memory of someone lecturing entropy as that as you create more
order in one area the remaining area will become more disordered. I imagine
anarchists as having lost faith in order and started new faith in chaos. I
think the fifth level is more neutral attitude and having faith in this
entropy process(rather than chaos or order) where it will all balance out.

It was said the success of the US has been due to science. In my experience I
have seen scientists that are more intersested in ego enhancement than in the
truth. They have a confirmation bias in which they are more interested in
promoting their theory than in finding the true theory. I think to be a good
scientist you need to live in uncertainity and thus let a little of that chaos
in your life.
I have just finished Tom Robbins 'Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates"
which seems to send the message that dilation of ego is the root of the
world's problems. The western world may be attacked as lacking spirituality
which may be true but as a result is the bonus of not taking yourself so
seriously. Part of the success of the western world is due to their sense of
humor, holding multiple viewpoints and thus living in uncertainity. The main
character is very paradoxical and calls himself a neutral angel. The fifth
level to me is paradoxical, allows an appreciation of irony, very neutral, and
egoless.
As TR would say "Send in the Clowns"
Ironically lacking any fixed goals may be the best goal of all
Cheers,
Erin
