You can't be serious. You've read Pirsig's attacks on scientific materialism 
and you've seen Wilber's complaints about flatland so I'm guessing you have 
your tongue firmly in your cheek. I can see how a person might not 
understand the problem or agree that there is a problem. But if you think 
I'm making this up then you're about half as smart as I thought you were.
