[MD] Teachings from the American Earth (Part I)

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Platt]
You seem to think Bo's position (and my agreeing with it) is sad. Perhaps sad by
your lights, but true.

[Arlo]
I think SOLAQI is wrong. If intellect _is_ S/O, then what's the point of LILA
where Pirsig describes intellect as "having a defect"? Indeed, according the
SOLAQI, we should EMBRACE S/O intellect as the most moral of the levels, second
only to DQ itself. Is that what you get from LILA?

[Platt]
Nothing sad about the dichotomy of true/false.

[Arlo]
No, but much sad about the dichotomy True/False.

[Platt]
Of course, neither Bo nor I say that the white man is pure. The dichotomy you
describe exists only in your metaphorical imagination.  

[Arlo]
Fair enough. Your out-of-context attempt to ridicule by association with one
extreme led to me think otherwise.
