Hey Otto, Thanks for the reference. Excellent article by someone who knows from first hand experience what he is talking about, not some theoretical egg- head in an ivory tower. I think the MOQ would be appalled at what passes for education these days if for no other reason than its goal -- "to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality" -- smothers responses to Dynamic Quality." That goal is precisely the reason for P.C. and university speech codes -- the coercive stifling of opinion -- and with it the coercive stifling of Dynamic Quality. (Notice on this site how Arlo, an academic, attempts to impose a "correct" way of thinking by insulting anyone who strays from his dogma.) Pirsig wrote an article on how to teach Quality. It's an antidote to the disease described by the teacher in the essay you referenced. Sadly I've lost the source. Perhaps someone will recall where Pirsig's cure can be obtained.
