[MD] Platt's Individual Level

[Plattman also Speaketh to Case]
I don't think the MOQ is based on Indian stories.

Of course not, you can dismiss all parts of Lila that talk about "Indians",
just like you dismiss all of ZMM. It's all hippy, new-age, commie stuff.
Especially the part where Pirsig says...

"Then the huge peyote illumination came:

They're the originators!

It expanded until he felt as though he had walked through the screen of a
movie and for the first time watched the people who were projecting it from
the other side.

Most of the rest of the whole tray of slips, many more than a thousand of
them before him here, was a direct growth from this one original insight."

Thanks Arlo. I often don't respond to things you post because I simply have
nothing to add. But this time since I am in a quoting mode so I will toss
this in: 

"From that original perception of the Indians as the originators of the
American style of speech had come an expansion: the Indians were the
originators of the American style of life. The American personality is a
mixture of European and Indian values. When you see this you begin to see a
lot of things that have never been explained before."

Platt, you should read these quotes over again for each the Indian quotes
you skipped over in my last post.
