Native Americans and the Value of Freedom | The Mike Hill Series | Episode 5 (WiM128)
The "What is Money?" Show
The Sun Dance Kid Is an Embodiment of the Native American Values
The sun dance kid is an embodiment of the native american values, even through the lens of anthropology. They're just like these a cout bes are indians. They're not our europeans. And it is a perfect representation of cowboys. It's a statement poised on a knife edge of ambiguity.
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.
