[Arlo] Yes. Amazing. Either you are willfully dense or deliberately distortive. Or both. Sigh. Let's look at what I said, and see if I said "there is a right way to interpret Pirsig". [Platt] With typical narcissism, Arlo thinks my reference to "those" means him. [Arlo previously] Pirsig's ideas = "A metaphysics of Quality" (the foundation for which we are all here, to be sure), and Bo's ideas = "A metaphysics of Quality" that is a critical revision of Pirsig's ideas. Bo might say "A metaphysics of Quality that holds the intellectual level to SOM is better than A metaphysics of Quality that considers SOM to be one on many intellectual patterns", instead of "THE metaphysics of Quality holds the intellectual level to SOM". [Arlo] I don't know which is worse, Platt, taking your post as stupidity or taking it as distortion. Either way, kudos. [Platt] Thanks. Always a pleasure to be the subject of personal attacks from one who has appointed himself czar of the one right way to think.
