Hello GJ,
May i have a go?
For example:
There are some subjects that made me wonder, where I need your opinions.
1. I am a school teacher (children from 4 to 13) - I often get the urge to
teach them the MoQ. Would it be wise? How would you do it?
Yes. Tell them there are 4 kinds of Good: Inorganic. (show them a beautiful
rock formation) Organic. (show them a beautiful tree) Social (explain
University institutions) Intellectual (show them the law of conservation). Above all,
indicate the Tao (DQ)
2. I regularly find myself trying to explain the moq to others (friends
during beer) How do you do it? What do you tell them?
Tell them they already understand, but need to concentrate a little more.
Indicate the Tao in all activity.
3. I have great troubles giving grades to creative works the children make.
Can the MoQ be a help allthough pirsig wouldn't allow it? If yes? Enlighten
me?
Experience cannot be graded in this way. Allow students to enjoy experience.
4. Do some of you try to implement the MoQ into psychology (or ectually the
other way around that is)?
I personally would not know what to say here. In my view, psychology from an
MoQ perspective is a matter of harmony and balance.
5. If philosophy is of high intellectual quality, why get children?
That depends upon how individuals are dominated by the four value systems.
6. Is a religion a social pattern of values? And if these patterns are not
of high quality anymore in a culture, why teach children that religion
anyway?
Religion is both social and Dynamic Quality. From a social perspective,
religion may teach social value. From a Dynamic perspective, religion is a
patterned response to unpatterned experience.
7. Why is a policeman allowed to hit a hooligan, but is a teacher not
allowed to hit a kid that the teacher can't reach intellectually or social?
And why was it allowed in the old days? What should a teacher do, if he
doesn't want to use this biological jungle-language?
The MoQ says that social values are between intellectual and biological
values. It is imperative that social unity is maintained for the suppression of
biological value and in support of intellectual values.
A student who is not open to intellectual patterns is not a student.
8. Would it change our feelings about the whole MoQ if Pirsig appeared to be
an ugly child-molesting sigar smoking bold woman? (like one of Roald Dahls
witches)
No.
8. When did the intellecual level started - The old greek - the
renaissance - the sixties ?
Too long ago to be a problem.
10. Is it moral to have an opinion about a President without living in his
country? (looking at Culture A using the values of Culture B)
Yes. Four value systems imply four ways to view a president.
11. Can I tell you all Gandi was a great guy using my $2000,- computer?
Not sure what you mean?
Looking forward to your replies,
GJ
OK. Mark
