If anybody is interested, I would like to get your ideas on an attempt to 
re-define politics (in MOQ terms); “Politics is social activity with the 
goal to enable or to prevent the movement of static value from one group to 
another (creating change or maintaining no change).”

Hello HZ. Chapters 21 and 22 of Lila both focus pretty heavily on politics. 
Pirsig uses a bunch of historical examples to explain the political 
conflicts of the 20th century. He paints it as a clash between social level 
values and intellectual level values. The shift from traditional power 
structures to intellectually guided societies is some kind of evolutionary 
leap. Its not just a shift from the static to the dynamic, although that's 
certainly part of the equation too. Anyway, those chapters will elaborate on 
the idea with specific names, historical events and ideologies involved in 
the drama. Check it out.
