Platt to Andre: Like DMB and others, you are in denial about Pirsig calling the free market "superior" to socialism.
Andre previously: These patterns Pirsig identifies and debunks as a continuation of 'Victorian social economic patterns' and this makes them LESS moral than socialist intellectual economic patterns (Pirsig's emphasis).(LILA,pp224-5) Andre now: You are intellectually dishonest. Platt: You nailed it. Pirsig criticizes the dominant intellectual pattern, "rationality," the essence of "critical thinking." Thanks for making my point. Now, what other intellectual patterns have higher quality than those based on reason? Andre: Oh, I forgot you equate the intellectual level with SOM. Platt Why don't you simply say: Platt is a conservative and supports free market capitalism, so I will do whatever I can to slime him. Not what one expects when trying to reach mutual understanding. Andre: I have the very strong sense that you do not want to reach 'mutual understanding'. You are only here to push your own personalized sq cart....and fuck the rest.
