ROGER RELATES TO STRUAN

Struan wrote:
When used on this forum, the term mystic has generally been applied to
anything that the user
misunderstands or wants to hold as 'sacred.' This is not mysticism, rather it
is an excuse for not
being able (or willing) to apply reason to intuition. The claim that this
cannot be done descends
(inevitably) into relativism and thus has no place in the MoQ.

Roger now replies:
I agree, especially with the "misunderstood" part, and would add that it is
easy to make the leap that since DQ is unknowable that anything that is
unknown is DQ. This is of course not logically correct, nor is it correct in
this circumstance. It seems Pirsig skates right up to the line here himself.

Later Dude,

Rog
