Really, Arlo? If you can explain experience in the absence of a
sensible agent, you'll be doing RMP and the rest of us a momentous favor.

I'm not going to waste time with your disingenous question, Ham. This is
like a flat-earther asking for "proof" the earth is round. You've
rejected any possible answer before its offered. You're not looking to
understand Pirsig, you're looking for yet another soapbox to trumpet
your "Essentialism" and its ridiculous "sensible agent". Okay, fair
enough, you disagree with Pirsig and you think you're ideas are better.
Then why the hell are you here? Why do you waste your time in a forum
about a philosophy that denounces your theism and your "sensible agent"?
As far as I can tell, about the only reason you have ever demonstrated
for being here is to seek "converts" (how's that working out for you?).
Okay, Pirsig wrote you a letter years ago saying he saw similarities
between his metaphysics and your "thesis", but in the entire time you've
been here you have only condemned the man for not embracing your god (in
effect) and its creation of holy man (right, I'm a nihilistic atheist
because I find laughable the notion that "Essence" negated itself so its
negates (us) could worship it...). I don't care that you are here, but
the only thing you do is continuously look for people to convince them
Pirsig is wrong. Given that, I have no interest in discussing your
"sensible agent" nonsense or any such "Essentialism" theology.
Pirsig's comments about experience are solid enough, and don't need me
to expand upon them for you. If you haven't even so much as learned the
answer to your question in the years you've been here, the fault lies
with you, not with Pirsig or anyone here.
