Hey Ham, Thanks for the mention and all, but I have to say you and I are philosophically speaking, miles apart.
I started out in my youth in a philosopophy that was very, very anti-anthropocentric. It made sense then and it makes sense now that if you make your reality subjective, you haven't got a you to stand on. Furthermore, my recent hero of choice is Josiah Royce, the Absolute Idealist who utterly refutes this stance and proves logically that the entire universe is made within the context of absolute value - and that the structure of the cosmos is an ethical culture. I see my task here as to bring Royce to the Pirsigians in metaphysically confirmational way, in opposition to W. James - Royce's lifelong friend and philosophical antagonist. That's just who I am right now. I'm open, but I've got my static baggage like anybody. And secondly; I still like the term "People of Quality". I use it in my head all the time and guess what? It includes you, Ham. Even though we fundamentally disagree, you care about Quality. Royce wrote a wonderful philosophy of Loyalty with a chapter called "Loyalty to Loyalty" and it resonates with Caring about Quality. And I know it when I see it. I don't see it in Individual Valuism.
