[MD] Bill's Intellectual Level

[Heather Perella]

Platt and others,

 
     Ian said:  "Platt misleadingly stated June 20th: 
I suspected that honor was in SOLWAQI's individual
level

     Platt said:  "Honor is about truth and honesty.
It's intellectual, as Pirsig makes clear:

     Oh, the great manipulator Platt you strike over
and over again.  It's the concrete jungle sinking into
your brain.  You said clearly, but I'm sure you meant
muddying the waters.
     Where does Pirsig say truth means honor?  Nowhere
in your quote does Pirsig point this out.  Read it,
and you'll see no mention of honor.  You didn't read
it right?  Surely once you eventually read it you'll
see that honor is not mentioned in the quote you
pulled.

     Platt said:  "You compare Rush to a President of
the U.S.? Your comparison holds out hope for you after
all."

     You are comparing and thinking there's a
difference in person, yet, we are talking about honor,
which knows no political boundaries.  Yet, Platt you
love political boundaries and trace everything with
rose-colored conservative glasses.
     Platt do you know what honor means?  Do you see
honor in Pirsig's books at all?  Even Pirsig said
Plato said honor is second to truth, and thus, to
Pirsig honor is definitely different than truth.  This
was the comparison Pirsig gives between truth and
honor.  Yet, your Platt and have your own philosophy
called SOLWAQI's individual level.  Interpretation is
one thing, yet, redefining something to fit your
philosophy is to finally take credit that you came up
with your own personal philosophy.  This necessarily
doesn't have to be bad.  It's yours, honor it and
bring virtue to yourself.


Thanks,
SA
