Bo,
If you are an example of a follower of Pirsig's MOQ,
then the MOQ is solipsistic. The only one who
understands you is yourself, and you seem to take
pride in that. I've been patient, and Good knows Denis
has, in trying to understand you. I respect your being
you, whatever that is. BUT it crosses the line when
you impugn my scholarship BASED on YOUR views of
things. Page 136: ... Quality divided into Dynamic and
static components Page 133: The negative esthetic
quality of the hot stove in the earlier example was
now given some added meaning by a static-Dynamic
division of Quality page 139: Although Dynamic
Quality, the Quality of freedom creates this world in
which we live, these patterns of static quality, the
quality of order, preserve our world. Neither static
nor Dynamic Quality can survive without the other.
My reputation is important to me, and I don't
appreciate you attacking it because you can't read a
book. It seems you have a point about how "Dynamic
Quality" is the cutting edge and therefore in some
sense "before" static quality and thus maybe there is
only Dynamic quality. I can "see" that perspective and
I suppose there is some validity to it. But it does
not justify you saying I am "wrong" when all I am
doing is "reporting" what the damn book says. I didn't
say Quality = DQ + sq, Pirsig did. If you have a
problem with that, then attack him, not ME. You need
some clarity of thought and basic manners of respect
for the scholarship of others.
