Using Fintan's new message template I head this:
BODVAR FEELS WOUNDED AND CALLS FOR REINFORCEMENT
BEFORE THE MOQ IS REVISED COMPLETELY.
*************************
Dear All.
First it was Jonathan contesting Pirsig's interlevel conflict,
and Fintan reviving Jonathan's old complaint about Intellect from
society, and then his suggestion of a new ranking. The "rescue
operation" from various parties haven't improved the situation
much, suddenly there are levels all over the place. Roger correctly
called it a basket of worms.
Don't you - all - see that if the level sequence is tampered with
and/or SOM's "thinking itself" is brought in through well-meaning
back doors, there's nothing special about the MOQ any longer. Biology
becomes complicated matter lumps and Society those complicated matter
lumps lumping into superlumps, and at some moment the lumps start to
"think" - mysteriously. What's next? Spirit ?! No, the levels are
ranked correctly by Pirsig and fills all of existence.
Subject-object, mind-matter have to be located within the STATIC part
of the MOQ (in my opinion it is Q-Intellect itself), not as a
pseudo-reality parallel to it.
Ladies and gentlemen let us cool it and and then try to formulate our
views as concisely as possible. I intend to stay away for a few days
and think Richard Budd's question over. Also do I signal for
the cavalry. Come to MOQ's rescue!! :-)
See you - not too soon.
