ROGER REPLIES TO A FICTIONAL CHARACTER
THAT "IT'S TIME FOR PLATYPI GIGGIN'"

Hey Horse,

Sorry to break the news like this, but while you weren't watching, Rich and I
decided you and Mr Unicorn are nothin but mental constructs. But I am an
open minded kind of guy, so I will drop my customary prohibition and reply.

Horse:
It's the case that we are created by Quality - some combination of
Static and Dynamic - but isn't it also the case that we also create
Quality by our interaction with it?
Consider! We are created by (or should that be we are) a continuous
stream of Quality Events. Those Quality Events, which are created
by the interaction of patterns of Value (experience) also create
patterns of value which in turn ..... So we are participators in the
overall ebb and flow of Quality AND we are contributors (Fuzzy
thinking) there is no strict demarcation line or point - we are either
AND both.

Rog:
I agree completely. Though I still am not sure of what "WE" are once we toss
out the Cartesian Theatre and the Pirsigian Editor known by laypeople as
consciousness. I don't know if you ever caught my write up on Free Will 14
days ago, but Rich is right that Robert M. still has some platypi to catch.
Who does the creating.....?

Roger

PS -- I got a speed ticket right before my Free will post, so I may have been
subcosciously driven to write it as a defense for my transgressions....."It
wasn't me Officer....My foot just went down all the way......"

PSS -- Walter is still out there isn't he?
