Evil as the Cost of Creation | The Mike Hill Series | Episode 7 (WiM148)
The "What is Money?" Show
Introduction
"I can't, I'm just going to, this is a dim apprehension that I can barely put into language. It's like maybe we are the battleground through which these metaphysical moral organisms are at," he says. "This could be God and Satan symbolically, I guess, but this metaphysical organism of evil, it thrives."
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.
