On your level it's obvious you favor communism and socialism for intellectual control of society, blithely ignoring the defect in intellectualism. Not to mention the defect in lumping conservatism with fascism.

I mean, unless you think Pirsig doesn't understand > the MOQ better than you do. Stupid remark. Pirsig understands that free market capitalism is superior to your intellectual communist and socialist programs for control of society. Apparently "everyone here" doesn't understand that, least of all you and DMB. Whether Ant does or not I wouldn't know since he rarely says anything here although I think he leans toward socialism.
