The Fractal Nature of Value | The Mike Hill Series | Episode 3 (WiM112)
19The third episode in a series from the What is Money Show with Robert Breedlove.
The series explores the book “Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals” written by best-selling author Robert Pirsig, which 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.
