Suffer greatly, James Pirsig and dmb? You guys think so? I fail to see how. Our philosophies and our modes of rationality are linguistic affairs, and they seem to be adequate to me to meet the needs of awareness and knowing. I don't see how dwelling on that beyond words is so incredibly great that to lack it in my life is "greatly suffering." I mean, I don't wanna argue against it, so much as I'd like to know what this suffering is. What it feels like and how my life can be made better than it already is by "prelinguistic awareness".
