Hi Platt,
So according to MoQ there was no response to DQ before biological cells
existed? (assuming you count cells as "living beings"). I'm fairly sure
that Pirsig actually says that the biological level evolved to allow a
more dynamic response to DQ than the physical level. So what we have is
each static level responding in their own way to DQ just as they have
since the dawn of time (or rather more accurately since the dawn of that
particular level), it's just that each static level is a better, more
dynamic response to DQ than the one from which it has evolved. At least
that's my reading.
So evolution continues to exist at all levels, but obviously humans
dominate it, which might well suppress it, I guess.
Regards,
Jim.
