Ron:
Sorry, I don't follow you. How does the s/o distinction subvert social 
excellence? How do you define "social excellence?" Then I'm mystified
how 
s/o intellect and hippies are in any way related. They revelled in
blowing 
their s/o minds.  

Ron:
That's my point, they saw no reason to adhere to any social values, they
were meaningless customs to them. They thought intellectualism was the
answer. 
 
Platt:
Incidentally, I thoroughly enjoyed your post comparing you, Bo and
Pirsig 
on the question of the intellectual level. I'll probably have some
comments 
later. In the meantime, Bo is Bodvar, not Bodivar. And, I had trouble 
sometimes figuring out who was saying what because not all the passages 
were identified. 


Ron:
Thank you for alerting me to my mistakes, I certainly didn't mean to
disrespect Bodvar by spelling his name incorrectly, I owe him a formal
apology. 
Thank you Platt
