[Platt] Yes, indeed. Somehow we as humans were freed from the trap of living only in
present moment, like animals. That makes us special. To me this further the supports Pirsig's theory that evolution is towards freedom -- DQ's "only perceived good." (Lila, 9) [Krimel] Well yes we are "special" but cheetahs are special because they can run fast. Birds are special because they can fly. Fish are special because they can live underwater. Giraffes are special because they can eat from the high branches of trees... I think the whole idea the DQ "perceives" is completely misguided and a very bad reading of Pirsig.
