But wouldn't you admit, Ron, that if energy is defined as "the power to change"
that DQ would qualify as energy? As for evidence of this energy, 
Pirsig cites, among other examples, that of the brujo. "It was the moral
force that had motivated the brujo in Zuni." (Lila, 9) IMO, the "moral force" is
energy of a creative kind, bring about changes "for the better." Seems to me 
the evidence for such an energy is abundant in our evolutionary history.
