I take it then that your answer to the question, "What's the mind in?"
would be "In the human body." Is that correct? If so, the next question
naturally would be, "What's the body in?"
I enjoyed your essay in the Forum. But for me it pretty much boiled
down to scientific materialism (all is matter and energy) with God
(Quality) accounting for the mysteries that science has failed to explain
such as organization, complexity, evolution and the laws of physics. I
didn't see you acknowledge Pirsig's thesis that the world is a moral
order which does indeed make "his map" new. In fact, there was very
little, if anything in your essay about morals which is what the MOQ is
all about. I wonder why?
