i meant to say "that are more rationally explained if one follows Pirsig's
line of thought and accepts his premises."
take out the "not"...sorry.

>Timely comments from Xcto. Do we have an official topic o' the month

>First, I feel we could gain immensely by comparing and contrasting MOQ to

approach

share

idealism,
>pragmatism, neorealism, Zen Buddhism, Taoism, phenomalism, and
phenomenology.
>Where do we share assumptions? How does MOQ resolve their platypi? What

>Second, Bodvar, Lithien and Jay have been discussing an interesting

><<<<"What's the best way of promoting the MOQ? My humble opinion is that
>the Quality idea will sell itself, there is no other way forward and
>it will be conceived by many different thinkers in many different

>Lithien responded to both:
><<<<<<"what i tried to say before is that the value that MOQ holds for me
is

>it solves the platipi. all those seemingly unsolvable issues that are not

>There have been posts ranging from just live your life right, to let's

a

take
