Hi Everyone
OK - the votes all seem to be in and it's 23:59:59 1/4/1999 GMT.
The suggestion with the most votes is #5. I've included the subjects
voted for and who voted for which at the end of this post. If there are
any discrepancies let me know.
The start off post follows shortly:
1) [Rich Pretti]
Leaving Quality undefined is a central tenet of the MOQ. We should
work towards clearly explaining why this is so and exploring the
arguments both for and against this position.
Sarah: "Are you teaching Quality this quarter?" "Yes..."
- You know what it is. No you don't. Yes you do....
[Michele D'Alessio]
3) [Horse]
Does the Metaphysics of Quality provide good grounds for the
argument that:
A) We should be vegetarians
or that
B) MOST of us should be vegetarians MOST of the time.
[M.R. van der Wal]
4) [Steve Bates]
In order to bring a pragmatic element into the discussion, state how
Lila has affected our lives from a personal perspective
[John Beasley]
[Leighton John Ellis]
[inertia creeps]
5) [David L Thomas]
H.N.Brailsford has said "the crude issue of power... is always the
last of the realities that sensitive and reasonable men can bring
themselves to face".
What, if anything, does the Metaphysics of Quality have to say about
the realities of power.
[David L Thomas]
[Boone Bradley]
[Kevin Sanchez]
[Glen Dickey]
[Horse]
6) [Rich Pretti]
Explore the relations and development of both ZATAOMM's
Romantic/Classic split and Lila's Dynamic/Static split. Preliminary
explanations in terms of a Hip/Square, Humanistic/Technological,
Aesthetic/Theoretic view of the world could be useful in examining
this view.
One pattern of understanding (Static Quality) must contain elements
of the other (Dynamic Quality) - balance, latching, yin-yang... this
seems to be an ancient split.
[Diana McPartlin]
7) [Carmen Flynn]
With the article by Ernst Mayr that Pirsig quotes in Chapter 11 of Lila
in mind, explore the relationship of the MOQ, evolution by Natural
Selection and the various teleological explanations of evolution.
[Jeffrey W. Travis]
[Ken Clark]
[Keith Gillette]
10) [Horse]
Pirsig refers to Dynamic Quality in a number of different ways in Lila
and his paper Subject, Objects, Data and Value. Is he referring to the
same thing or is it possible that, like Static Quality, Dynamic Quality
consists of distinct or different aspects?
[rich pretti]
11) [Horse]
In the event of an inter-level conflict is it ALWAYS the case that the
higher level of Value, as defined in the MOQ, has moral superiority?
Are there instances where this is not the case and how are they
resolved? How is it possible to recognize and/or resolve an intra-level
moral conflict?
[Carmen Flynn]
[Richard Budd]
Once Dynamic Quality is identified with religious mysticism it
produces an avalanche of information as to what Dynamic Quality is.
Describe this avalanche.
