[MD] self: agent of action & thinker of thoughts

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Marsha quoting]
"An example of _sammuti-sacca_ is the concept of self.  Pirsig follows the
Buddha's teachings about the 'self' which doesn't recognise that it has any 
real existence...

[Arlo]
Right, this is a rejection of the primacy of S/O, or SOM. 

[Marsha's quote continues]
and that only 'nothingness' (i.e. Dynamic Quality) is thought to be real."

[Arlo]
Sure, DQ is experience, which is reality.

The only point I'd make is to change the term to "no-thing-ness", but I think
that's what was meant.
