John said (sceptically) to Dave "Really? That documentary addresses the metaphysical shift away from the good? Maybe I will watch. bit skeptical about that claim tho."
Actually I think it does - in quite important ways - provided we strip away some of the sillier TV aspects. (And yes I did make myself watch the whole thing now - someone has to do it.) John also said "TV rots your brain. Even on your computer. It make you think in simplistic black/white; us/them ways wherein you jump straight to defensive ego struggle and make careful logical analysis seem goofy. But then, some of us don't mind so much seeming goofy. At least it ups our entertainment value." Agreed. But, not sure all careful analysis has to be "logical" - I associate care more with love than logic - but then I don't mind seeming goofy either. There is a wonderful irony in Dave trying to migrate Pirsig away from being "the crank hanging around the public library" and into the "church of received wisdom", and those of us who find even 10% to question or disagree with being painted (nay attacked) as the cranks.
