Bo,Wim,
I think you both know what side of this issue I am on. When in the
"Consciouness" thread Platt refered to Pirsig's "child intellectural or
mental development" quote it jogged a question about the "Q-intellect."
in relation to Bo's position.
I think we all agree that static patterns change. Either stay
dynamically stable, move toward DQ, unlatch and de-evolve, and sometimes
become extinct. In human development from child to adult to old age to
death we get to experience a short segment of this evolution over and
over. First the child, Pirsig suggests, must attend to dynamic quality
in successfully develop through infancy, then it must attend to social
quality to successfully develop through adolescence, then ,according to
Bo, must attended to SOL to successfully enter into the intellectual
sphere. Then and only then may one move on to the wisdom of the MoQ.
Now of course you see the question coming, "How is it that if all
patterns of value evolve or de-evolve, change, and particularly to a
greater degree at the two higher levels, that the SOL remains fixed"
Does this not suggest that SOL can never become extinct?
