[Marsha] I think the question is an inappropriate analogy, and not pertinent.
[Arlo] It is pertinent, if you are using the "all is analogy" understanding to imply that anything and everything someone says about Pirsig's metaphysics is equally acceptable. This is what you are saying, isn't it? Or no? [Marsha] As you have stated it there is no leaving the analogy. Your statement is null. [Arlo] Good, then we agree the Metaphysics of Quality is not the Quality Reality, as this is an attempt to leave the analogy. [Bo] What you are calling 'untenable inconsistencies' is based on misunderstanding Bo's analogy. [Arlo] No, they are based on a full understanding of what Bo's analogy entails. Pirsig saw this as well. The whole "levels aren't patterns of value" morass, for example. [Marsha] And I see no 'likeness' between your way of thinking and RMP's. [Arlo] Tell me some examples where you think this is the case. [Marsha] I will toss that simile right out the window. [Arlo] Of course, you must be used to tossing out things that you'd rather not deal with...
