Maybe you two professors, instead of commiserating with one another about that awful, file, despicable, inane, stupid, nauseating, polarizing Platt, could address the issue raised by Pirsig in Lila, namely: "Phaedrus remembered a conversation in the early sixties with a University of Chicago faculty member who was moving out of the Woodlawn neighborhood next to the university. He was moving because criminal blacks had moved in and it had become too dangerous to live there. Phaedrus had said he didn't think moving out was any solution. "The professor had blown up at him. 'What you don't know!' he had said. 'We've tried everything! We've tried workshops, study groups, councils. We've spent years in this. If there's anything we've missed we don't know what it is. Everything has failed' " "Phaedrus now thought that part of the professor's paralysis was a commitment to the twentieth-century intellectual doctrines in which his university has had a prominent roll." (Lila, 24) So tell us. What intellectual doctrines have changed in the university to break the professor's paralysis? I'm sure not only me but SA would like to know.
