Amazing. We've been blessed by those who know the one right way to
interpret Pirsig. But now we're doubly blessed to have someone who
knows the one right way to think. How lucky can we get?
[Arlo]
Yes. Amazing. Either you are willfully dense or deliberately
distortive. Or both. Sigh.
Let's look at what I said, and see if I said "there is a right way to
interpret Pirsig".
[Arlo previously]
Pirsig's ideas = "A metaphysics of Quality" (the foundation for which
we are all here, to be sure), and Bo's ideas = "A metaphysics of
Quality" that is a critical revision of Pirsig's ideas.
Bo might say "A metaphysics of Quality that holds the intellectual
level to SOM is better than A metaphysics of Quality that considers
SOM to be one on many intellectual patterns", instead of "THE
metaphysics of Quality holds the intellectual level to SOM".
[Arlo]
I don't know which is worse, Platt, taking your post as stupidity or
taking it as distortion. Either way, kudos.
