Mike Hill joins for me for a multi-episode exploration of the masterful book “Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals” written by best-selling author Robert Pirsig. This book may be one of the most undervalued ever written, as it proposes an alternative interpretation of reality that Pirsig calls “The Metaphysics of Quality” (MOQ). According to MOQ, reality is not made up of substance, but rather it is composed of distinct patterns of value. In a Copernican-like revolution of perspective, MOQ sheds new light on age-old debates such as moral relativism, the nature of subject-object duality, good vs. evil, science vs. religion, the importance of freedom, and the primacy of action.Be sure to check out NYDIG, one of the most important companies in Bitcoin: https://nydig.com/GUESTMike’s Website: https://www.mikehill.design/PODCASTPodcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-what-is-money-show/id1541404400Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8EewBGyfQQ1abIsE?si=wgVuY16XR0io4NLNo0A11A&nd=1RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYITranscript:OUTLINE00:00:00 “What is Money?” Intro00:00:08 Symbolic and Metaphysical Descriptors of Value00:03:01 The Logos: Gathering Things Together Under a Common Name00:03:48 The Fractal Structure of (Static and Dynamic) Value00:07:10 Defining “Fractal”00:08:50 Inorganic and Intellectual Mass: “Matter” and “What Matters”00:11:00 Etymology as Walking Backwards Through the Fractal Tree of Language00:12:30 Unpacking the Meta-Narrative of Lila00:16:45 Static Quality as a Ledger Written by Dynamic Quality00:21:24 Returning to the Lila Meta-Narrative…00:29:41 The Duality of Lila00:32:24 NYDIG00:33:31 Polysemic Storytelling00:37:39 The Middle Way of Truth00:39:48 The Philosophy of American Pragmatism on Truth00:42:06 The Middle Way of Transjectivity00:43:15 Pirsig’s Indexing System for Constructing his Metaphysics00:47:41 Random Access Memory (RAM), Freedom, and Dynamic Quality00:51:53 The Intensity of Exchange and the Etymology of God00:54:54 Morality is Born from Play and Play is Born from Freedom00:58:00 Humans Create Stories that Support, but Later Cripple, Further ExplorationSOCIALBreedlove Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22WiM?

Mike Hill joins for me for a multi-episode exploration of the masterful book “Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals” written by best-selling author Robert Pirsig. This book may be one of the most undervalued ever written, as it proposes an alternative interpretation of reality that Pirsig calls “The Metaphysics of Quality” (MOQ). According to MOQ, reality is not made up of substance, but rather it is composed of distinct patterns of value. In a Copernican-like revolution of perspective, MOQ sheds new light on age-old debates such as moral relativism, the nature of subject-object duality, good vs. evil, science vs. religion, the importance of freedom, and the primacy of action.Be sure to check out NYDIG, one of the most important companies in Bitcoin: https://nydig.com/GUESTMike’s Website: https://www.mikehill.design/PODCASTPodcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-what-is-money-show/id1541404400Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8EewBGyfQQ1abIsE?si=wgVuY16XR0io4NLNo0A11A&nd=1RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYITranscript:OUTLINE00:00:00 “What is Money?” Intro00:00:08 Introduction to “Lila: An Inquiry into Morals”00:04:47 A Background Pirsig’s Old Book: “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”00:06:20 “What is Quality?”: The Problem of Subject-Object Duality00:07:45 Metaphysics: The High-Country of the Mind00:09:41 The Many Dimensions of Value00:10:57 The Participatory Anthropic Principle00:13:29 Background on the Author: Robert Pirsig00:17:59 The Paradoxical Pursuit of “Value-Free Science”00:24:34 The Possibilities of a Metaphysical Revolution00:28:25 NYDIG00:29:33 The Consequences of Aristotelian Subject-Object Metaphysics00:33:56 Nihilism Arises from Both Zero and Infinite Interpretations of Truth00:36:26 The Catch-22 of Subject-Object Metaphysics00:41:20 Causation and Substance: Aristotle’s Grand Metaphysical Illusion00:46:15 Empiricism Saws Off the Branch On Which it Sits00:50:53 Causality as a Useful Psychotechnology00:52:04 The Illusion of Substance00:55:11 Substance as a “Stable Inorganic Pattern of Value”00:57:35 Swapping Out “A Causes B” for “B Values Precondition A”SOCIALBreedlove Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22WiM?
