Oh now I understand. You reject all "isms", all Western philosophy from the
Greeks on down equating all of it to SOM. Given that, I still don't
understand why all this fuss trying to incorporate "SOM" into YOUR
philosophy. 

YOUR philosophy, as I and many others have made clear over the years,
because you are clearly outside the realm of Pirsig's proposals. He
suggested replace the foundation using the "good" piece and parts of the
existing structure. You on the other hand reject all SOM, borrow RMP Quality
insight, and are attempting to craft a new philosophy in your own image. I
now understand your project. Good luck with that.
