[Arlo had quoted Pirsig]
That's the best definition of you that's ever been invented.You may 
think everything you say and everything you think is just you but 
actually the language you use and the values you have are the result 
of thousands of years of cultural evolution." (LILA)

[Platt]
Except as Pirsig points out, an individual, like the brujo, is the 
sole catalyst of cultural change. "A tribe can change its values only 
person by person and someone has to be first." (Lila, 9)

[Arlo]
Which is not in contrast to anything I've said, and when read 
properly in the full context of ideas expressed in LILA only furthers 
my point, that social participation is both agenic and structuring, 
offers the affordance to follow DQ but at the price of constraining 
responses. You'd know this if you'd actually read what I wrote, or 
take Pirsig in full context, rather than using isolated one-liners in 
knee-jerk response to further your S/O fallacy, even to the point of 
trying to use on sentence of Pirsig to disprove another!
