Hi, X Acto -

Neat visualization of the movie scene. Would be neat to extend and see 
Phaedrus meeting all the thinkers. "The personality of the great 
philosophers is immortal and irrefutable." - Nietzsche.

I think Bob is the writer to take Plato and Aristotle very deeply 
*seriously*. It makes me think how serious Nietzsche was about Socrates - 
then at the very end, admitted he admired and loved him. Ultimately, 
Aristotle and Plato come together - the classification scheme is pure 
Aristotle, almost pure Chairman. That would be a whole essay in itself - 
threads of A and P in ZAMM.

> In "Sophist" it is the visitor, from Elea who is the "bully"

Those Parmenideans can be tough people. ; )

> Pirsig with his 1961 paper to Edith on teaching quality in writings

Is it available anywhere? I'm very interested in everything Bob has written. 
I hope things are archived and not scattered about.
