Marco, I fully recognise that all these Q-words have been around the MD
for a long time. I've never liked it, but you certainly do not deserve
to be singled out for criticism. The effect of the prefix is to make it
look like Q-morality is some special SUBset of morality, and
Q-awareness has some special narrow meaning.
IMO, we seek just the opposite. The morality we are talking about is
something much bigger that the "paste-on" rules that often passes for
morality. The awareness we are talking about is something much wider
than keenness of the five senses.
MARCO:
[we also could write s-morality, so SOM will be defeatist :-) ]
This would be fully consistent with the MoQ. Pirsig states quite clearly
that he thinks that SOMish morality is just a pale shadow of the real
thing.
