I dunno either Arlo, but if I was making my best guess, I'd say
Platt's idea of the matter is far closer than yours.

Well, again, given that Pirsig has supported and endorsed, and
continues to, both Ant and DMB in their academic endeavors, and has
been more involved in bringing his works into the academy than
getting them aired on talk-radio, I'd say Pirsig is probably hardly
bothered by the academic discourse that goes on here.
You can disagree with Ant or DMB, of course, as I know you do, and
have those arguments which I think are ultimately insightful. But to
suggest Pirsig would rather see this list devolve into a sporadic
collection of "random thoughts" swinging from "art is pretty" to
"leftists are bad" is something I would think would NOT be something
he would rather see here.
In other words, I'd think he is probably much more in favor of seeing
you forge connections between him and Royce than seeing yet another
list of obvious generalities and Limbaugh-flavored invectives posted here.
But hey, I'm an evil academic, you know, one of the bad guys who
values learning rather than championing ignorance, so what do I know?
I kick puppies for fun.
