Platt to All: These quotes from ZAMM suggest that Quality is a strictly individual event, solely dependent on an individual's life experiences. It's like breathing. Everyone knows what breathing is, but each individual has a different breathing experience, especially the experience of the first and last breaths.
Individual uniqueness is a dominant theme of the MOQ, demonstrated by the author's attention to the differences that mark the personalities of Phaedrus, Rigel, Lila, Dusenberry, John Wooden Leg, and other individuals whose understanding of Quality varies mightily. That such disparity gives ammunition to Pirsig's critics goes without saying. Andre: Yep, Platt, keep the Qualigod, mixed in with Cartesian/Lockean insights alive (they were wrong you know!) and you will be able to maintain your political views and remain 'comfortably numb'. Not sure if you'll get this but the Lila 'personalities' represent different evolutionary levels of value.
