Well, I don't know, Marsha. If one dancer is trying to slow dance and the other is trying to salsa, isn't okay sometimes for one person to speak up and say, "Why don't you pick a dance that we can both dance to..."?
Why did you read me as being authoritarian? And what is the virtue of the stuck-state of Dan and I's conversation? Being stuck can be good, as you quote Pirsig, but I think it will only seem that way retrospectively, after one has figured out just how, in fact, that it was a true and profound stuckness, and not just regular stuckness. If you can see how to transcend my inability to understand how Dan conceives of the philosophical area we've been discussing, in a way that Dan recognizes as the area he's been trying to occupy, then I'm all ears. I haven't found it, and so am not sure whether this is profound or regular. If I misunderstood the import of your remarks, I apologize.
