Hi, Platt. How are you?
Platt said:
Perhaps you can point to "lack of logic" and where Pirsig and I disagree.
As for compassion, I've never claimed Mother Teresa to be one of my role
models. Nor did Pirsig.
New guy says:
Just out of curiosity, who are your role models? I wasn't asking for a
Mother Teresa, a little compassion (that I believe only comes with one who resides
on the intellectual level for the most part) would be nice though. I know
this is a philosophy-based forum but one thing that turned me on to Pirsig's work
was his idea about Care. It's discouraging to hear you use the MOQ to
justify your old tea. What's weird to me (nothing wrong with weird) is that you
seem to understand the MOQ quite well, better than I probably ever will, yet your
ideas match those of the typical, misinformed, society-driven, 'yes we are
the best' etc etc American when it comes to politics. I don't think Pirsig
would agree with your "biological terrorist" idea, for starters. But that doesn't
really matter does it? Whether he disagreed or not, whether the MOQ pointed
you in a different direction, whether you let the fact that more violence will
never equal less violence sink into that lovely head of yours (or not), you'd
still hold the same views you do now, correct?
And Ian, I appreciate your response. I've been a little hesitant to post
anything here seeing as though most of you are clearly more intelligent
(philosophologically anyway) than I. Anyway, for now, I'm curious as to who your role
models are Platt. At the same time, I've been reading some posts concerning
people wanting you off the list, discouraging as well.
