The "What is Money?" Show How to Live a Quality Life – The Metaphysics of Quality w/ Sevilla King
Quality Is Primary Not Reducible
- Quality (what matters) is ontologically primary and cannot be fully defined or reduced to matter.
- Pursuing a material "god particle" is a fool's errand compared with attending to value and relational experience.
Reality Is The Subject‑Object Meeting
- Perception is transjective: subject and object arise together in the moment of quality.
- Reality is the meeting of perceiver and perceived, not separable objects or subjects alone.
How Persig Entered Robert's Life
- Robert discovered Persig around 2015 amid a convergence of influences like Jordan Peterson.
- He started a YouTube channel to force himself to study Persig deeply and share insights.
