[MD] There is a name for what's wrong with you!

[Ian Glendinning]

(And Mark is an example ... in defence of people clinically diagnosed
with Autism .... is exhibiting autism)

It is an excellent piece on Wittgenstein.

I can't believe after all the references of working as a car mechanic,
in order to work with machines rather than minds, and even the quip
"Wiitgenstein and the Art of Car Maintenance" he fails to get in any
reference to Pirsig other than that allusion.

Excellent
Ian
