Mark M,
Scott:
I think that all patterns, not just fourth level
patterns, are symbolic. I have argued for this in the
past, but don't want to inject this debate into this
thread.
Mark:
Hello and thanks Scott.
I think i get you now. I've had problems with this
myself and we are teatering on the edge of idealism.
Scott:
Intellect is the Dynamic evolving of the repertoire.
The words "Dynamic" and "Static" apply to Intellect in
the same way they apply to Quality.
Scott prev:
This is a change to the MOQ, but as I see it, only
requires removal of the characterization of DQ as
"preintellectual".
Scott:
Original thinking creates new static patterns. The MOQ
vocabulary of
"responding to DQ" is unnecessarily strained,
traceable, I believe, to
Pirsig's unfortunate reading of mysticism (which
treats intellect as
"covering up" some supposedly pure "preintellectual"
experience).
- Scott
Mark:
Thanks again. This gets to the root of the matter
methinks.
I appreciate and respect your position Scott.
You feel Pirsig has misread mysticicm, and if he had
read it better there would be no need for DQ?
Mark
