> My suggested topic is "WHAT IS THE BEST FORM OF A SPQ [Static Quality
Pattern]". As we know Pirsig makes the primal cut between SQ and DQ. However
immersed as we still are in old SOM, we continue to think in its terms. It
is hard
> for us to see/imagine/feel the building stones of MoQ, it cannot be
subjects and object, but it should somehow contain them, but how? What is
the best "brick" [SPQ] to build MoQ from? How does it reflect the primary of
the experience of quality? How does this "brick" [SPQ] relate to the 4
layers?

> i suggest we discuss pragmatic implementations of the metaphysics of
quality in the thinking space of the social/political + specifically, how
does it concieve.of/ operationalize social agency? and how does it approach
matters of (governmental?) policy? - pirisigs' works have much to contribute
to philosophies of laws, revolution(aries), economics, free
will.vs.determinism, etc. which have tremendous implications for
policy-making + let us systematize these meandering (?) political thoughts
into one style of thinking + (warning: i'm not suggesting specific stances
on political matters; only specific ways of concieving/analyizing/valuing
political questions)
