And if you want to kill all intellectual patterns, Marsha, then have a
lobotomy. I suppose that will serve Quality for you, eh? 

[Marsha]
This is a social tactic. 

[Arlo]
I don't see anything in your pet quote about which "tactics" one  should use.
Indeed, let's ignore the horrible rhetoric of your comment and accept it, if
one is supposed to "sustain social patterns", and a lobotomy is a "social
tactic", then I'd say your pet quote supports you getting a lobotomy. 

[Arlo previously]
What about the social pattern of slavery? Denying women the ability to vote was
a "social pattern", should that have been "sustained"?

[Marsha]
This is not a now event.

[Arlo]
Really? So its a "then event" or a "soon event"?

[Marsha]
You are using the past to sustain it for some intellectual argument  which is
much ado about yesterday. 

[Arlo]
Oh so its only NOW that we should sustain biological and social patterns? A
hundred years ago your pet quote would've been inappropriate?

[Marsha]
Hypothetical-social/intellectual bullshit.   

[Arlo]
Right. Your most common "I can't answer with substance so I'm going to make
idiotic accusations" tactic to get out of replying.

[Marsha]
What do you do to improve anybody's situation, but intellectualize?   

[Arlo]
I've suggest a lobotomy for you. Is that not enough? I am trying to help you
kill all those horrible interlictial patterns.

[Marsha]
Do you think that you are teaching me something?  No, it's seems like ranting.  

[Arlo]
I don't care nor intend to "teach" anyone anything. Whether its "ranting" to
insist Bo take his revisions to their only valid ground or not, well, I suppose
to Bo's "We Hates Us Them Gall-derned Interlictials" Cadre it would be. 

The point is, its a VALID argument for Bo to say his revised MOQ is better than
Pirsig's MOQ. You can have that argument all you want and you'll get nary a
peep from this evil interlictial (except perhaps to chime in my agreement with
Pirsig).

But it is an INVALID argument to claim that, despite Pirsig's ignorance about
his own meaning, the SOL represents what Pirsig "meant".
