[MD] What does Pirsig mean by metaphysics?

[Arlo Bensinger]

[Platt]
Accordingly, "All this is just an analogy" is an absolute truth 
proclaiming its own universality. Once admitted as "Truth" (with a 
capital "T") the entire edifice of relativity is overthrown.

[Arlo]
Same old song as last time this went 'round, which only demonstrates 
your continued befuddledness... not any "absolute truth". It is a 
statement of limitations, a finger pointing to the Void. That you 
continue to demonstrate inability to understand this saddens me...

(((((All this is just an analogy) including this statement) including 
this statement) including this statement)...) The "ground" to this is 
"mu". Pirsig understood that, its a shame you do not. But I suspect 
that is willful ignorance as you chase your perennial bugbear of "relativity".
