[Platt] Would you agree that not all cultures allow an individual to freely express his opinion and that in this regard some cultures are better than others?
[Ron} Platt, in every post you answered you made a damn good case. Part of me disagrees on the grounds of the concept of superiority yet evolutionary Superiority is the name of the game. Somehow I can't shake the concern For this to be construed as justification for elitism. I as well as Anyone knows what it is to fight to survive. It is a fact of life. Yet something feels wrong about it being a metaphysic. I personally think it would be a confusing task to sort out Which culture is superior using Pirsigs method merely on the Basis of having to be immersed in a culture to accurately Access those MoQ characteristics as it relates to itself. Because there is error in judging other cultures by virtue Of our own standards of intellectual and social. Between you and I democracy is the best thing going, Not without it's warts mind you. I understand what you are saying But for some reason I cringe at the thought of MoQ being used As justification for cultural elitism, I think it's a mighty thin Line to walk without getting judgmental and following An ideology something close to that of the third reich. I see where you are coming from but I can't help thinking of The down side to it. What are your thoughts in regard to this?
