[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Marsha]
A rhetorical device you say?   Or maybe an understanding that "This Cartesian
'Me,' this autonomous little homunculus who sits behind our eyeballs looking
out through them in order to pass judgment on the affairs of the world, is just
completely ridiculous."   Rhetoric or wisdom? 

[Arlo]
Rhetoric. "The MOQ" does not speak. Pirsig does. 

""The trouble is that essays always have to sound like God talking for
eternity, and that isn't the way it ever is. People should see that it's never
anything other than just one person talking from one place in time and space
and circumstance. It's never been anything else, ever, but you can't get that
across in an essay." (ZMM)

I can transcribe his quote from the DVD later today, if you don't recall it.
