Speaking of Nazis, check this recent news item right out of the pages of Goebbels propaganda playbook:

[Arlo]
Right. You have "nazi tourettes" as well. Big surprise.

[Platt]
Sounds like Einstein failed to understand the significance of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, although he beat a retreat from Europe to America when threatened by the National Socialist Workers party of Germany.

[Arlo]
Yeah, Einstein, that dummy. Actually, Einstein understood very well. Your inability to demonstrate any semblance of understanding this is due to your clinging to your ridiculous little "holy war", a "war" both Einstein and Pirsig talked above.

[Platt]
A repeat -- needed to penetrate thick skulls:

[Arlo]
I don't think much can penetrate your skull, Platt, as again you comically use Pirsig to argue with Pirsig, instead of seeing the obvious that he was above your ideological "war".

[Plattt]
Note the phrase "scientific, intellectual culture" -- further support of Bo's interpretation of the intellectual level as SOL.

[Arlo]
No, in support of Pirsig's formulation of the intellectual level as NOT SOL, as he is pointing to the specific instantiation of SOM in the West.

[Platt]
In Lila Pirsig cites SOM as the cause of lost souls:

[Arlo]
And I agree. In ZMM he talks quite a bit at how the SOM underpinnings of the present western capitalist model was failing human souls. And that is exactly what Einstein was speaking to as well.
