Folks,
The end of February is fast approaching and that means it's time to start
thinking about our March PROGRAM topic of discussion. Please respond with
your scintillating suggestions for questions by replying to this message,
keeping the subject line the same to indicate you're voting on *next*
month's topic, not discussing this one's. That way Magnus won't have to
send you a nasty rejection notice for violating the single post-per-day
limit! (Don't get carried away, though, that's still only *two* posts per
day. Otherwise my brain starts to hurt.)
Speaking of which, here's a(n) MOQ question that has been paining my brain
that I'll throw out as initial suggestion for next month's topic to get the
comments flowing:
"With the Metaphysics of Quality, Pirsig proposes a 'Copernican Revolution'
in our understanding of reality, placing undefined value at the center and
dividing it into static and Dynamic Quality. How are those of us still
mired in a subject-object view of the world to wrap our minds around this
transformation? Is this static-dynamic split merely an epistemic
convenience that we make arbitrarily or is it an ontological reality,
transcending our thoughts and intellectual description of it?"
Vote for this question or draft your own! I'll keep track of the votes and
make a decision, announcing the new question for the first of March.
Cheers,
Keith
