Hi,
I'm new to the group so I guess I should intro duce myself. My name
is Alex Finlay and I live in South Carolina. I read ZMM in spring 98
and then Lila. I loved them. They gave me a whole new way to look at
the world around me. Anyway I was looking on the internet for things
a bout Lila and I stumbled on your little group. So far it seems
great. One thing that I was wondering was are there any "rules"
though this list, for example I noticed that the subjects have "MD"
in front and things like that. Or any common courtesy thing I may not
know about. Anyway, the reason I was looking on line in the first
place is because I had some questions about MoQ that I've been
wondering about.
(1) How does MoQ define truth. I know that Empiricism defines it as
anything received by the senses or derived from them, And Pirsig said
that MoQ subscribes to empiricism, But How does MoQ Define Truth?
(2) The next one is, is it moral to steal bread (low social Quality)
if you are about to die of hunger(low biological Quality). the
problem is that if the biological being dies, so do the social and
intellectual ones, so wouldn't that me social Quality indirectly
undermining intellectual?
(3) From what I've heard about Quantum Physics it sounds to me like a
tier below chemical,(Quantum seems to be a completely different level
obeying completely different laws) this has probably been answered
long before now but I haven't seen it yet.
(4) Along the same vein could MoQ be a higher tier (Quality Realizing
that it exists?) because it seems to be a completely different level
than intellectual
(5) This last one has been puzzling me for a while. How, in a value
based universe, did SOM even come to exist. to me it's obvious that
MoQ is of much higher value
Thanks
