I still don't see the argument I have with you. Like, I'm not giving Pirsig a pass in late-20th / early-21st Century neo-Darwinian explanations of evolution. I don't think he's claiming a pass there. His subject was rhetorical metaphysics ... he scored an A-Plus pass there. Platt chooses to be pig-ignorant of intellectual argument. I've moved on. Gav has that common repulsion to the "greedy reductionist" ooops take on random aspects of evolution, as he should, but in fact I believe he has a good intuitive grasp of the reality of emergence and what teleology actually is. All I am saying is that the neo-Darwinian and Pirsigian explanations of the emergence of layers converge on the same result. Two sides of the same coin.
