Otto, Isn't a mean guy a collection of static patterns related to an individual mind/brain. And it doesn't mean that social, intellectual and dynamic morality cannot construct a defense against that mean guy.

I hope you're doing well. In chapter 8 of ZAM, Pirsig wrote, "There's no villain, no "mean guy" who wants (us) to live meaningless lives, it's just that the structure, the system demands it...". Are there no villains, and just systems? Are there no people who are aware of the dangers or possible negative consequences of rationality and proceed to act in such a direction due to self-interest, placing biological morality over social, intellectual and dynamic morality?
