And you are an arrogant areshole dmb for suggesting you understand the
enormity more than others.
I'm not "above" anything. Just choosing where to put my efforts. (As I
said, but that counts for sod all.)

They are less moral as static patterns go."

easily agree with you, but in the cartoon world of mass media,
they're as low quality as each other. And whilst MOQ wallows in the
same mire as populist politics count me out. Personal choice, not a
criticism of yourself and Arlo say, if you wanna fight that battle,
but there are bigger fish to fry for me. The quality of argument
itself. Each to his own.

But Pirsig DOES establish some working understanding of the left.
That's what the Lila quotes refer to, obviously. And I'm quoting
scientific research in support of Pirsig's analysis of the right,
NOT the cartoon world of mass media. You're pretending that both
sides are equal and that you're above the fray. But I think you just
don't realize the enormity of what's at stake nor the profound
differences between social and intellectual values.
Nor the difference between creationism and cosmology, apparently.
What indiscriminating, insensitive, tone-deaf, luke-warm drivel. The
great equivocator strikes again!
Thank you very little,
