It seemed that Arlo was address ""Pirsig says" as an inherently 
existing self, which he is not.

[Arlo]
Are you suggesting that Pirsig does not exist, and for this reason 
can't speak? Who speaks, then, if not Pirsig (and you, and me, 
and...)? Should I not attribute your words here to "you", since you 
are not an inherently existing self? You seemed very irate the other 
day when you felt you were maliciously misquoted, since you are not 
an inherently existing self, and cannot say anything, why does it 
matter which words are and are not attributed to you?

You use "inherently", does that mean you suggest that Pirsig is not a 
part of nature? Do you think anything "inherently" exists? Did the 
bombs that drop on Nagasaki and Hiroshima "inherently" exist?
