Poincare asked "Why is the reality the most acceptable to science one that no small child can be expected to understand?"
Pirsig asks "Should reality be something only a handful of the world's most advanced physicists understand? One would expect at least a majority of people to understand it. Should reality be expressible only in symbols that require university-level mathematics to manipulate? Should it be something that changes from year to year as new scientific theories are formulated?"
He goes on to explain that in a "value-centered Metaphysics of Quality this "scientific reality" platypus vanishes. Reality, which is value, is understood by every infant....science is a set of static intellectual patterns describing this reality, but the patterns are not the reality they describe."
The patterns are not the reality that they descibe.
Not the reality that they describe.
A description of reality.
Not reality itself.
Not real.
Reality, as I've been saying all along, is subjective.
On another note, I'll be back to the rain soon.
