That is, "intellectuals are squares", unable to see and appreciate beauty and harmony and art and groove. So Marsha has to convince herself that, despite her involvement in an online philosophy discussion, she is "not an intellectual" (if she isn't, who is?). So where Pirsig's intention was a "root expansion of rationality", to provide a means to expand rationalities view to include both classic and romantic, to correct intellect's SOM-induced "blindspot", they remain convinced that intellect only leads to dry, artless Professors (and not Mary Annes or Gingers).



Hello Arlo,

Marsha processes all kinds of patterns.  She processes millions of patterns in a single day, some intellectual, some not.  I am not an intellectual;  I am not a single definition of anything.  I'm not even a grandmother.  Can you even consider what it is not to attach to such superficial self-identification.  I'm this.  I'm that.  What utter ridiculousness!   

You are not stretching far enough.  Think no-self.   Or maybe self as a verb?  


Marsha
