Hi Marsha,

I know you are not accusing me, but just for the record I have never called
anyone a whore. The great Pirsig was easily seduced by Lila; then she
despaired of their inability to communicate except on the physical level.
Pirsig's morality impelled him to help her how he could where most other men
would have abandoned her. Lila acted without premeditation and always
expressed her emotions without holding back - yes, that would be a trait of
a Buddha.

Still would like to know why you are not satisfied by the meme idea; I
realise it is a very new and revolutionaty idea. I think it sits well with
Pirsig's foundational (as opposed to evolutionary) model - the second split
of static into mind and matter; genes corresponding to the material static
latching and memes the mental means.

I am not saying it is this way, only that these are attractive thoughts for
me.
