Hi Squonk
100% agreement. This is why I want the QUALITY (metaphysics,
idea ...?) to be a movement beyond Intellect-as-Reason. In ZAMM
which is your favourite Pirsig hasn't constructed any metaphysics
so it's still in the widening-river and other metaphors.
About TIME. In my opinion DQ has had various forms according to
the level in question. When q-evolution had its pinnacle at the
biological level the dynamic void ahead was something totally
different from what it is to the intellectual level (I know it is silly to
speak of any view from the bio. level but bear with me:) so "time"
may well be DQ "seen from" Intellect. Will check your post.
