Hey again DMB,
I couldn't resist this one...
DMB...
OK. I'll bite. How do you tell high quality rights from the rest?
RICK
Well, at first... you probably can't...
PIRSIG
When you define morality scientifically as that which enhances evolution it
sounds as though you have really solved the problem of what morality is.
But then when you try to say specifically what is and what isn't evolution
and where evolution is going, you find you are right back in the soup again.
The problem is that you can't really say whether a specific change is
evolutionary at the time it occurs. It is only with a century or so of
hindsight that it appears evolutionary (p256).

But for all intents and purposes, the highest quality truths are those that
most logically consistent, most economical in explanation and most in
agreement with experience.
