[Platt]
The full paragraph, stating clearly it was a mistake to "against society."
"The Hippie rejection of social and intellectual patterns left just
two directions to go: toward biological quality and toward Dynamic
Quality. The revolutionaries of the sixties thought that since both
are antisocial, and since both are anti-intellectual, why then they
must both be the same. That was the mistake."
[Arlo]
This says nothing to the effect that it was a mistake to go against
society. Indeed, Pirsig says the opposite ("The Hippie revolution of
the eighties was a moral revolution against both society and
intellectuality") The above paragraph shows the mistake in thinking
that because "biology" and "DQ" are both against society and
intellectuality, that biology and DQ were the same.

Lifting a few words out of context. Here's the full passage:
[Arlo]
You already provided the quote, hardly "lifted" anything "out of
context". Unless you think people on this list are too stupid to
read, or remember something from an hour ago.
So, tell me, what are a few Victorian moral codes you feel should be
dusted off, and what are a few you feel should be abandoned.
Also, is it only Victorianism we should not reject outright? Should
we also re-examine Marxist moral codes, dust them off and see what
they were trying to accomplish?
What about Indian values? What are a few of those you think we should
"dust off"?
