Walter,
What I meant is that you could tackle this subject [as any other] from
different points of view. It would be nice if you [and everybody else on the
list] try to do so from a MoQ point of view, and not from your belief
system. The problem is not what you wrote but that it could have been
written without even knowing Pirsig's MoQ [and indeed it was]. I hope this
will encourage you [and others] to try to use MoQ as a metaphysical tool,
namely try to see the world from it's point of view. But if we get the same
old view again, this metaphysics is not worth having. From personal
experience , it gives a unique view of what is [and solves lots of problems
in different fields], but somehow I don't think one gets there by ignoring
somebody or leaving his ideas "best to rest".
and don't forget to be gentle
Avid
