I've been reading the posts for a few days now...Its good to know that
others search for truth the same way I have always intuitively searched.
I'm an undergrad in urban planning which immerses itself in public
controversy over physical, social-political and intellectual issues daily.
Im afraid my question is off topic, but it is on my mind.

Persig presents a number of examples in which value sets are in
contradiction with each other. Example: All people are equal (Indian)--Some
people are more equal (European)= celebrity love/hatred. My question is
whether these contradictions in values have anything to do with a
capitalistic market economy. For example: If everyone in the U.S. had the
same values how would this effect the market? Is the market fueled by an
uncertainty in the quality of a static pattern of substance, pattern of
processing, pattern of social organization, pattern of ____? Is parallelism
in our society useful because there is a uniform uncertainty in the quality
of any process?
