[MD] Drug User or Genius?

[Ron Kulp]

I'm not Victorian in any sense, let alone morality (by the way I'm
Indian).
But I'm opposed to the use of drugs and sex. It is really very immoral
and inferior for a person who values intellectualism.

This is the only issue that I have come in disagreement with Pirsig in
Lila.
Phaedrus, whom I so much admired (yeah, you could say it's the teenage
idol
syndrome) suddenly turned out to be a sexed up man who goes around bars
drinking and smoking, no matter of what intellectual stature he be. And
if you let that be fiction, Pirsig's also married *twice*.

Any comments on this?
