Skutvik:
...it's years since I gave up on Mark...
Mark:
This isn't strictly the case is it Skutvik?
What you have given up on is answering questions and
exploring new ideas. You're stuck in a value trap just
outside 1997 post Lila squad.
Skutvik:
There are those at this list whose grasp of the MOQ
negligible - even negative - but if they utter the
perfunctory "quality" everything is OK with Mark,
while I, the most zealous MOQist ever, have received
his curse.
Mark:
Again, this isn't strictly the case is it Skutvik?
The MOQ was presented with the publication of Lila,
but you have never accepted it. You can't be zealous
about that which you don't accept.
Skutvik:
To compare Mark with Plato is the overstatement of the
century, yet, maybe he senses that something big is at
stake.
Mark:
It's all you have: hyperbole. Since the inception of
Lila squad you've wanted it big like Robert Pirsig,
but it's not going to be Skutvik: You are not Robert
Pirsig.
Skutvik:
Also comparing Pirsig and this tiny group with Plato's
times may border to megalomania,
Mark:
Border? As in, approaching the edge of, but not
actually reaching, and sounding unnervingly a bit like
it?
Skutvik:
Mark however, represents a NewAge-ish interpretation
with a dynamic (read spiritual) intellectual level and
is more tempting, but a completely dead end.
Mark:
I have no idea whatsoever where you may have got it
into your brain that i regard DQ as spiritual, or that
i regard the DESRIP as spiritual. I've simply no idea.
It may be hypothesised that you are deliberately
misleading people in the full knowledge that you are
indeed doing so? Tempting in that i cannot discern an
alternative explanation. And i remember a large number
of previous occasions upon which you have appeared to
have behaved in this manner to others before today
such as Paul Turner, Anthony McWatt, DMB, and myself.
(The archives are transparent and may be explored at
will) I think there are other examples also.
David Hume would no doubt suggest that what we have
here is a constant conjunction of events which leads
one to believe there to be a causal connection.
Mark
