Mathematics was screwing everything up? Computer language? Buddhist 
thought? Obviously none of the above. It was valueless SOM that was 
screwing everything up, specifically identified by Pirsig as the 
intellectual level.

You know, its funny how far you bend over in every attempt to 
denigrate "intellect". Of course for you the intellectual level has 
to be that faulty, malicious, broken, amoral SOM. Why that allows you 
to demonize those evil perfessers as the enemy, to cast the Academy 
as the Great Villain, to scorn those "elitist interlictials" libs, 
and so forth...

So, hey, if you really want posit a MOQ where matheematics, computer 
languages and "Buddhist thought" are all social level patterns, 
please, by all means, the humor is a nice thing most days.

I'm siding with Pirsig, though, personally. His ideas make a lot more sense.
