Now that you've chosen your "side", the universe can
sit back and wait for the next schism, in the side you
like. Eventually there's only you left.

Yes Andre there are people here who keep liking to make this forum into
two groups-- the "real" group and the "liking" group I guess would
be today's division. Still waiting for your real comments on about
this real quote. Do you like it or is not real?
PIRSIG: "Unlike SOM, the MOQ does not insist on a single exclusive truth. If
subjects and objects are held to be the ultimate reality then we're permitted
only one construction of things -- that which corresponds to the 'objective'
world -- and all other constructions are unreal. But if quality or excellence
is seen as the ultimate reality then it becomes possible for more than one set
of truths to exist. Then one doesn't seek the absolute 'Truth.'
One seeks instead the highest quality intellectual explanation of things with
the knowledge that if the past is any guide to the future this explanation
must be taken provisionally; as useful until something better comes along. One
can then examine intellectual realities the same way he examines paintings in
an art gallery, not with an effort to find which one is the 'real' painting,
but simply to enjoy and keep those of value." (Ch
