Steve:
Pirsig has described freedom as a matter of perception while every
other philosopher that I have ever read has described it as a matter
of will. You don't see that as interesting? That's not worth thinking
about?

What is so weird for me here is that based on what you've said
previously you _don't_ agree with dmb on this free will business.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I understood that you disagree with
dmb's claim that Pirsig's conception of freedom is about the capacity
of a rational agent to freely choose among a set of options.
