DM: Nice debate, DMB defends Pirsig well and I think Scott
is unfair on Pirsig overall but may have something in what
he says in terms of how we may try to understand DQ.
DMB: The mystical reality is undivided, but intellect and language are ALL
ABOUT
divisions.
DM: You see if there is division from the beginning -ontologically,
i.e. before human experience, or in pre-human experience,
or in the story we tell of the evolution of levels, division
into light & dark, or proton/electron, then is there intellect and a
form of language as you say. SQ seems to imply universals or ideas,
because SQ -from the beginning, means repetition, some kind
of tendency or disposition as McWatt says discussing Popper.
DQ implies openness, choice, possibility but the emergence of
SQ implies a commitment or value or re-expression of some
form that has become established, the universe has some how
SIGNED-up to electron/positron and has not gone for
another possibility such as sour-tron/sweet-tron you could
perhaps imagine.
