[MD] Transhumanism

[Mary]

Hello Matt, Arlo, Marsha, and everyone,

Pirsig speaks often with personal humility, as when he said something on the
DVD to the effect that he wanted his comments about art treated as a
starting point and not an ending point of discussion.  A major part of his
work deals with different aspects of humility: transcending the absolutist
nature of an ego-fueled SOM perspective, or transcending self to see that we
are but part of a larger whole, or seeing that all is Morality, or that
truth has a small "t".  These are important themes.  To be humble is to be
just a little closer to what he is talking about.  Taken in that spirit, it
seems perfectly natural for all of us to speak with an "it's just my
opinion" voice about most things.  It also lends an implicit air of respect
for divergent views.  I like it.  But that's just my opinion. ;)

Best,
Mary
