If there was one criticism of Bo approach which I agree on it is Pirsig ain't presently buying into what Bo is proposing, then again he hasn't endorsed much on the idea of intellect that has pushed this discussion ahead. Pirsig is the only one that can speak directly to that. That being said so much of Pirsig work in both ZMM and Lila in my understanding gives a credence to what Bo is arguing, that path of intellect as a static pattern is the path forged by the S/O divide. No other Metaphysical consideration can match it. I have repeatedly asked for a metaphysical premise that historically match what s/o divide has done. If this is one I would have suspect it would have been thrown on the table by now. Heck if there was, I couldn't understand why Pirisg wouldn't have eluded to it by now. The fact is the only metaphysical paradigm that Pirsig addresses in both ZMM and Lila is SOM. I know that some believe that by accepting this premise that it dismisses much of the Eastern philosophies that seems valued by so many. Yes Eastern philosophies have an intellectual capacity, but they are not static intellect pattern that delivered use from the social level. It may be an issue of semantics, but I clearly see what Bo has said for years and humbly endorse it until I can understand otherwise. The way I see it is that Eastern thought has it's contribution but not as as the static latch that s/o divide offered in terms of intellect. Historically and philosophically speaking I can't see it and I have tried, believe me I have tried.
