DMB,

As sarcastic and mean-spirited as we both can be, I have a real question for
you? And don't take this the wrong way. Since you are one of keepers of the
semi-official party line translation of Pirsig's work, "What about
consciousness?"  I'm just starting David Chalmers, "The Conscious Mind".
A brief word search of both of RMP's works seems to indicate that he takes
it a given and with his resolution of the mind/body problem he solves "the
problem of consciousness" Even though I'm only 4 pages into the book I can
tell that Chalmers would disagree, immediately and vigorously, that RMP's
approach just sweeps it under the rug.

Think on it and later on maybe we can try to discuss it semi-civically in a
separate thread.

Dave
