Hi all,
Sometimes I look back at 9/11/2011 as a missed opportunity. King George could have asked us Americans to do just about anything on the days after that national nightmare, and we would have done it. He asked us to keep shopping, but if he had asked us to change just one light bulb in our houses to a fluorescent one, we would have changed them all. If he had asked us to consider riding our bikes to work to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, instead of looking nerdy peddling with our helmets, reflectors, and bells, we would have seen ourselves and one another as patriotic for doing so. If King George had read Lila and had wanted to take that opportunity to spur us to progress as a nation, what could he have asked us to do? If you answer, I hope you'll consider that Pirsig defines progress as the evolution of static patterns toward dynamic quality. I would appreciate it if you could explain how your suggestion of what King George could have said to evolution toward DQ. But I'd be interested on your thoughts in any case.
