Pirsig uses the term "culture" over 100 times in Lila and defines it in
Lila's Child, Note 47: "Culture should be defined as social patterns plus
intellectual patterns." In other words. "culture" embraces the social and
intellectual moral levels.

Right. Further, intellect worships its own gods -- Reason, Observation,
Experiment, Measurement and Peer Review. Anyone who questions this
religion is banished to intellect's version of Outer Mongolia, namely,
Stupid City. Fortunately, there's a higher realm, the realm of Art where
intellect's gods are impotent and Beauty reigns. Anyone who has had the
good fortune of seeing Bo's paintings knows whereof I speak.
