Paul and DM.
Whoa them horses.

Mati: Ok, I am not really philosophically savvy as I would like to be,
but this seems a big step backward from where Pirsig has brought us. It
feels like perhaps this is going back down the slippery slope of SOM.
In large part because it would in the end would require knowledge to be
sorted would by a subjective reality (couched in SOM) to work and be
back where we started from.
DM: This is so good I am going to get it printed on a t-shirt.
I strongly suggest we adopt this. Object implies something that can be
an
object of consciousness. Let's stick to high or low quality static
pattern
fromnow on, if anyone says subjective or objective let's paste this
paragraphup.
Mati: I hate to write and run but after this post I will have to give up
MD for several months to work on a different project. So I won't be able
to be apart of the discussion anyway. But I would be cautious about
doing this because I think it will lead to some dead ends. "Object of
consciousness" being one of them.

You are both correct, I think you are discussing different passages.
Paul I truly respect where you are coming from and enjoy what you have
written, but I also see where Bo is coming from. From my vantage point
I don't think you far apart, though both of you may take issue with
that. I just don't have time try to sort it out for now, but good luck
to the both of you anyway.
Take care,
Mati
