[MD] The Word is Not the Thing

"Everything changes" except the fact that everything changes. The 
postmodern mind at work.

[Arlo]
Ah yes, the "postmodern mind" that is capable of considering paradox. 
Another little "postmodern mind at work", Pirsig, took on creating a 
definitional system of an ever-undefined. The moment you speak, you 
create incompleteness... the moment you examine language, you create 
recursive paradox. When Pirsig wrote, "All this is just an analogy", 
I am sure he was a smart enough guy to realize that this statement, 
however, is not an analogy. But he said it anyways, I guess he 
pre-supposed a certain level of intelligence in his audience. Finding 
"paradox" in language is a game for kids these days, certainly not a 
"gotcha" moment for learned adults. Sorry this continues to elude you.
