Not surprising to see an academic valuing "communism and socialism, 
programs for intellectual control of society."

[Arlo]
Wow! Awesome but moronic non-sequitar! Great use of that talk-radio 
style bullshit for sure!

But... didn't Pirsig say the intellectual level is morally superior, 
and should dominate society? I do recall something called the MOQ 
that placed intellect above society on the moral hierarchy? Of couse, 
the conservative agenda to "slow drift" back to the social domination 
of intellect nonwithstanding... Or, on your level, I'd say, "not 
surprising to see a anti-intellectual valuing conservatism and 
fascism, programs for social control of intellect."

[Platt]
You might want try to understand the defect in intellect one day, not 
to mention its limitations...

[Arlo]
Moronic charge. Everyone here "understands the defect", best of all 
Ant and DMB, who have both received the blessings and support of 
Pirsig himself. I mean, unless you think Pirsig doesn't understand 
the MOQ better than you do.
