[Platt] But wouldn't you admit, Ron, that if energy is defined as "the power to change" that DQ would qualify as energy? As for evidence of this energy, Pirsig cites, among other examples, that of the brujo. "It was the moral force that had motivated the brujo in Zuni." (Lila, 9)
[Ron] The brujo story IMO represented how a society accomodated an individual who challenged it's order and found a place within it's structure for them in lieu of punishment, release, alienation and recurrance of his unsocial practices, they gave the brujo a function, responsibility and acceptance. but that's just how I interpreted it. Moral force is a tough question Platt. I just do not know, nor do I have the philosophical weight behind me to accurately answer such a question.
