COMPARE AND CONTRAST POPPER'S METAPHYSICAL THEORIES WITH THE MOQ WITH A FOCUS
ON THE WORKING,EMERGENCE, AND RELATIONSHIP OF THE INTELECTUAL LEVEL WITH OTHER 
LEVELS.

There has been the suggestion that we continue the "intellectual level"
discussion for another month. I believe this would be worthwhile with the
following priviso. I have recently read a portion book of "Popper Selections"
dealing with a selection of Popper's metaphysical theories.
In so much as the MoQ is and we ever be an evolving theory, until it dies, I
suggest we turn to Popper's work in this area and see if it might offer some 
insight.

A few suggestions:

Pirsig says that the four levels of the MOQ are "all there is". But if each level 
evolved
out of the one beneath it, then is it possible for a fifth level to emerge? If so what
are the possible candidates for this level and how would we recognize it?

Leaving Quality undefined is a central tenet of the MOQ. We should
 work towards clearly explaining why this is so and exploring the
 arguments both for and against this position. Sarah: "Are you teaching
 Quality this quarter?" "Yes..." - You know what it is. No you don't. Yes
 you do 

 In order to bring a pragmatic element into the discussion, state how Lila
 has affected our lives from a personal perspective?

Hi LS! 

Another month is coming... I would like to go on with past topic, but I don't know if 
it's possible

IF NOT, this is my suggestion for October.



Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, chapter 14.

" This divorce of art from technology is completely unnatural. It's just that it's 
gone on so long you have to be an archeologist to find out where the two separated. 
Rotisserie assembly is actually a long-lost branch of
sculpture, so divorced from its roots by centuries of intellectual wrong turns that 
just to associate the two sounds ludicrous."

Seen in the light of MOQ, why art and technology divorced? What is technology today 
(especially information technology) ? Art without meaning, or ?

---

Maybe we can't find out WHERE art and technology separated, but philosopher must 
investigate WHY.


Ciao a tutti.

Marco.
