That would make them patterns, but big deal. They can be social patterns (goals) that your parents or the church drummed into your sweet little head.
Ron: analytics are also social patterns that are drummed into our sweet little heads. the church is builton analytic, school...ect.. The problem, as Pirsig said, IS that perception that all those nice words are just that, words. They are not. They are values. Values derived from biological patterns, high quality biological patterns, those silly words are the values that have ensured the survival of our biological patterns and consequently follow through in our social level patterns which comprise and compose our intellectual level patterns. Else Analytics wouldn't amount to a hill of beans, it would hold no value. Analytics embodies most of those silly words, it's value is based on them, Analytic is seen to be fair and balanced with no bias it is thought to be impartial and "objective" without social value analytic doesn't mean diddly. . . Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars......... . .
