I agree with your premises. To these I add: 1. Some things are better than others.
2. Some connections are better than others. 3. Some changes are better than others.
4. Some levels are better than others. 

I agree with Pirsig that the intellectual level is better than the social level,
that it is better "for an idea to kill a society than a society to kill an
idea." (Lila, 13) To me this means it is better to live in a society where
individual freedom is held to be better than social conformity. This distinction
between the levels makes sense to me.
 
Best,
Platt
