I beg to differ I have always agreed with Pirsig that individuals are
combinations of all four levels plus the ability to respond to DQ. I also agree
with Pirisg when he writes: "Second, there were moral codes that established the
supremacy of the social order over biological life—conventional morals —proscriptions
against drugs, murder, adultery, theft and the like." (Lila, 13). So I fail to
understand your criticism.
