DMB, Marsha, et al,

Some of these guys have been around for a while and the history of postings
has led me to conclude that Matt rejects philosophical mysticism in order to
maintain a kind of atheistic materialism, a kind of secular common sense.
Sam rejects the same thing to maintain the opposite view, a kind of theistic
traditionalism, a kind of religious common sense. They make odd bedfellows,
but join forces in their attempts to defeat philosophical mysticism. I'm
honestly not sure what Scott is doing. He seems to be interested in
defeating the MOQ by quoting Pirsig's SUPPORTERS. Sometimes he looks like
he's defending the faith and sometimes he looks every bit as nihilistic as
Matt.
Scott:
My concern is that the MOQ's philosophy of mysticism has flaws. There are
better philosophies of mysticism. Further, I think that these flaws lead the
MOQ to a thoroughly inadequate view of intellect.
