[MD] Flying Spaghetti Monsters

[Ham said]
It's also a losing argument here.  We stand accused of either solipsism or 
Randianism.

[Arlo]
As anyone who opposes you is accused of nihilism or Marxism.

[Ham]
As long as the Pirsigians dismiss proprietary awareness as the fundamental 
core of experiential reality, they will be unable to comprehend the point 
of existence or the meaning of the individual life.

[Arlo]
Oh, I don't know. I "comprehend the point of existence" and "the meaning of 
individual life" without succombing to an absurd notion of "proprietary 
awareness".

[Ham]
I note that they're now talking about putting the MoQ thesis into a child's 
book.  What better way to pre-indoctrinate children to the nihilism they'll 
be subjected to as university students!

[Arlo]
Yep, there's that big bad boogeyman of nihilism, and a little right-wing 
jargon tossed in to boot.
