Thanks for your thoughts.  Is it possible that Pirsig is describing this
dialectic when he presents the Classical and the Romantic?  While that is a
toned down version of A/D for simple people such as myself, it seems to have
the basic ingredients of what you present, in bestseller format.  Just
wondering your thoughts on that.

A couple of times I've said its very hard to miss associating A/D with C/R
split of ZMM, and Matt said he had a philosophy professor who did just that. I
think, though, that since Nietzsche is talking about the 'creative dialectic'
that gives birth to 'art', some parallel to DQ/SQ (even framed as
'pre-intellectual, cutting-edge awareness/static intellectual quality) is
fascinating (to me).
