Hi Marsha,
I know you are not accusing me, but just for the record I have never called
anyone a whore. The great Pirsig was easily seduced by Lila; then she
despaired of their inability to communicate except on the physical level.
Pirsig's morality impelled him to help her how he could where most other men
would have abandoned her. Lila acted without premeditation and always
expressed her emotions without holding back - yes, that would be a trait of
a Buddha.
Greetings KO,
No, you did not call Lila a whore. Some have called her
that. Someone called her a psycho-fluzzy. There's no question here
and I do not want to enter this round of projection.
Still would like to know why you are not satisfied by the meme idea; I
realise it is a very new and revolutionaty idea. I think it sits well with
Pirsig's foundational (as opposed to evolutionary) model - the second split
of static into mind and matter; genes corresponding to the material static
latching and memes the mental means.
I know it is illogical to say something is missing, but not state
what that might be. It's been a while since I read Ms.Blackmore's
books. Yes, there does seem to be a good correspondence. And genes
and memes are so easily seen as empty. Genes and memes might be a
great bridge to science. They are such cute little
soundbytes. Personally, I do think patterns are a better descriptor.
I am not saying it is this way, only that these are attractive thoughts for
me.
I'm not saying it's any such way either. Not this. Not that.

Credo of Albert Einstein: Although I am a typical loner in daily
life, my consciousness of belonging to the invisible community of
those who strive for truth, beauty and justice has preserved me from
feeling isolated.
