Platt: Yeah, blame Ham or anyone else who doesn't think like you. I'm shocked and offended. Quality doesn't get much lower than that.
Andre: Platt, with all due respect, is this the way MoQ thinking suggests that we live with eachother and treat eachother? The thing that strikes me about reading ZMM and Lila is the compassion, tolerance, respect and empathy the narrator and Phaedrus (as representing intellectual patterns of value) feel when experiencing and dealing with organic- and social patterns of value of which it knows damn well it's an integral part. Nothing of this I saw reflected in Ham's post nor in your comment so it seems, being protective of his ideas. A final observation: I have never been allowed to think like me.My everyday experiences were always forced into patterns that had to adhere to the SOM logic and interpretation. I have never felt comfortable with this. Out comes Pirsig and I do recognise the "lost, subdued part"... the part which has never been allowed to express itself. And judging from the sales of ZMM I am not the only one. This is a relief, but is does take some getting used to, in terms of expressing and verbalising, after 50 odd years. To hear terms like "segregation" on the basis of race, colour and creed under the (presumed ) umbrella of MoQ thinking "fills me with the urge to defecate".
