Hi Craig, Was Pirsig intellectually lazy and dishonest in generalizing that capitalism was superior to socialism? I'm sure in doing so he was aware of your valid point about generalizations. But as he wrote, "A science without generalization is no science at all" (Lila, 4).
Anyway, the MOQ is about reality. Politics is part of that. Pirsig didn't hesitate to comment on it. Nor should we when we find it relevant to an understanding of the MOQ. .
