    Is representation less or more rich than reality?

    Difficult. Look out to the horizon. Take in the totality.
    Or look at a painting. Surely we can do this and have
    the full richness of an experience. But we can add to it
    by also recognising the parts, sky and earth, sun and moon.
    Poets give us both parts and wholes to contemplate.
    Problems with too many parts is that some of them get lost.
    Like in SOM where we lose the subject and become materialists.
    Or where we lose sight of what Pirsig calls DQ entirely.
    It is always a dialectical need to analyse and break down
    into parts, but also to go back to the whole, to start again
    to find new divisions and differentiations & clear some fog
    that has obscured aspects of the whole. Post-modernism
    attacks the dominance and bias of concepts whilst often ignoring their
    positive
    aspect. Concepts simplify and enrich at the same time.
