Hello All!
'The meeting of East and West' by F.S.C. Northrop concerning the future of
World peace inspired R.M. Pirsig to enquire into the fundamental ground stuff
of reality and so aid understanding.
On the eve of a potentially historic destabilising War in the middle East, a
respected leading light presents in this, a highly charged and informed
continuation of the same desire to initiate World understanding, edifying us
with his immediate concerns:
How do pets know when their owners are returning?
You count them as they fly out and you count them fly back. That is, if you
like to keep F16's for pets?
How do pigeons home?
And put 50 tonnes of shit on the foreign office roof?
How do insects organize colonies?
Because they are not democracies and prefer colonialism? No?
How do people know they're being stared at?
Because someone is in fact staring at them maybe? No?
Why do amputees feel phantom limbs?
There are going to be phantom limbs aplenty over the forthcoming months! Iraq
and US soldiers to boot! Or not to boot? There's the rub.
Why do fundamental constants like gravity vary?
Because they are inconstant? No?
Why do expectations influence what happens?
What? HAS Dubya choked on a pretzel or something? No?
Squonk.
P.S. I thought the MOQ verified science? No?
