[MD] Problems with Intellectual control of Society

[X Acto]

[Arlo]
The paradox is that he has already written an "authoritative mandate". He could have just written the three words "think for yourself" if he thought his other ideas had little value. But again, I take your point, we do need caution around "papal bulls", but I also think ambiguity does not serve a dialogue well, instead everything more or less degenerates into disharmonic voices.

Ron: 
I agree, but as Bob put it, any dynamic form has to be open to degeneracy,
it always looks like hell.

Recently I have developed the concept that Pirsigs works are not so much
authoritative mandates but koans, "case studies". examples of Socratic method.
"Instead of arriving at answers, the method was used to break down the 
theories we hold, to go "beyond" the axioms and postulates we take for 
granted"
