Greetings Carrie. A fellow Californian. Woo hoo! And right next door to DQ too. Have you ever had any relationship with that place or heard of it at all?
I have a question about this list which is do you guys see yourself as > having any purpose in the long run? Like promoting Pirsig's views in > society? Or is it mainly centered around socializing and conversation? Or > is it more answering questions? > > I hope answering questions is good because I have quite a few! > > Thanks, > > Carrie Well questions are good, intelligent questions better and piercing, penetrating questions the best of all. If I had to sum up my reason for "being here", I'd say it's on the last page of my lila - I wrote about it recently in the archives but I'll just re-post the real relevant part to emphasize it as the best summation of why I'm here. "Now Phardrus remembered when he had gone to the reservation after Dusenberry's death and told them he was a friend of Dusenberry's they had answered, "Oh, yes, Dusenberry. He was a *good* man. They always put their emphasis on the *good*, just as John had with the dog. When the Indians used good, they meant it as the center of existence and that Dusenberry, in his nature, was an embodiment or incarnation of this center of life. Maybe when Phaedrus got this metaphysics all put together people would see that the value-centered reality it described wasn't just a wild thesis off into some new direction but was a connecting link to the center of themselves." Welcome then Carrie, to the connecting link of the center of yourself. Woo hoo indeed.
