What Platt really said:
Pre-intellectual experience is perceived. So I fail to see your point. As
for the statement it simply means be open to DQ. In other words, don't
reject new ideas out of hand with killing them with intellect.

> Patterns.

I think he means to kill all static intellectual patterns as opposed to 
dynamic ones like the brujo had that were attacked and almost killed by the 
static ideas of the priests.

Morality equals reality is Pirsig's definition, not mine. I happen to 
agree.
 
> And as per that definition I embrace and own Pirsigs "moral" levels.

I presume that means you accept the superiority of the higher moral levels 
over the lower, as Pirsig says.
