Hey Guys,

Sometimes philosophers don't understand the implications, or even the core
assumptions of their own ideas. This is very common in the history of
philosophy, with one philosopher decrying the way he is grouped or
classified, or the uses made of their philosophy.

Sometimes they are right. Sometime they don't see the larger trend that they
are a part of, or the fuller implications or the erroneuous assumptions of
their thought. This, I believe, is the case with with Pirsig.

Be Sweet,
Jon
