Did I miss something here? Why should such a claim belittle science? I
know my view of the MoQ is fairly extreme in this aspect but I take the
M of MoQ literally. I think it does a great job of explaining the
reality around us. A much better job than the other dominating world
view Pirsig calls SOM. To me, that's science. To be able to explain and
comprehend reality without conflicts and platypi.
