Description
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 The Metaphysical Lens of Subject-Object Duality00:02:08 Quality: The Pre-Intellectual Cutting Edge of Reality00:04:30 Western Rationalism and Eastern Mysticism00:07:36 “The Master and His Emissary”00:08:57 Totalitarianism: Left Hemispheric Dominance Writ Large00:10:20 Systemic Change Requires A New Rationality00:12:57 Dynamic Quality and the Four Levels of Static Quality00:16:56 The Co-Determination of Agent and Arena Identities00:19:12 The Etymology of “God”00:20:17 Subject-Object Duality as Lower Resolution Static Quality00:24:13 Dynamic Quality: Awareness, The Flow State, and Observation00:27:09 Iconoclasm and The Overton Window00:29:26 The Emergence of Static Patterns of Value00:33:17 Purposeful Action vs. Reflexive Behavior00:36:28 The Phase Transitions through Four Levels of Static Quality00:40:09 The Teleological Goal of Evolution?00:41:54 NYDIG00:43:03 The Dynamic Quality Perspective on Good vs. Evil00:47:34 Pain: “The Inarguable Basis of Being” and “Information”00:51:07 Transjectivity: The Transcendence of Subject-Object Duality00:57:21 Quality, Value, Excellence, and Values: All Transjective Terms01:02:45 “All Language is a Lie”: The Importance of Useful Fictions01:05:01 Fractal Truth, Archetypal Mythologies, and Data Compression01:10:07 “The Laws of Nature are Moral Laws”SOCIALBreedlove Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22WiM?
