[Platt] Pirsig makes clear the Hippies went against society: [Arlo] And he makes it clear it was a moral movement in doing so.
[Platt] The most important Victorian value we ought to "dust off" is the free market, a value Marxism rejects outright. [Arlo] You mean go back to the 1890s? Yes, by all means try to sell that one! But what other Victorian moral codes should we dust off? And, which do you feel we should abandon? So you think that its only "Victorianism" that we should "dust off" and examine to "see what they were trying to accomplish"? Small wonder why the path you promote is the retrogressive one Pirsig describes. [Platt] "Indian values are all right for an Indian style of life, but they don't work so well in a complex technological society." (Lila, 22) [Arlo] Especially one dominated by a "paralyzing (S/O) intellectual system". Maybe if we could overcome that system, we could re-examine what Indian values should be considered as well, a central point to LILA.
