[Bo]
Their strife with Plato was the budding intellectual level's 
subjectivism's versus its objectivism that still haunts 
intellect  ...in its SOM capacity role!!!!!

[Arlo]
So you think the conflict of ZMM was between subjectivism and 
objectivism, even if Pirsig has said quite clearly that what the 
Sophists were teaching was NOT subjectivism? How much do you have to 
rewrite in order to make your SOL palatable, Bo?

[Bo]
Intellect was not infested with SOM, rather the S/O value fossilizes 
into a S/O METAPHYSICS !!!

[Arlo]
See... its these type of utterly ridiculous statements, necessary to 
support your SOL, that make it a failure. What else could an "S/O 
value" fossilize into except an "S/O metaphysics"? Happily, Pirsig 
and others have seen that the "S/O value" is merely one species of 
"intellect".

[Bo]
Arlo may be small fry here, it's DMB who is the big roadblock.

[Arlo]
I actually take this as a compliment. But the irony is quite funny. 
In any event, I'd rather be a "small fry" who gets it, than a baked 
potato who does not.
