John to Andre:
I agree there is competition at all levels. I do not agree there is
competition between the levels.
Andre:
I agree John and am unsure whether I have stated otherwise. I have
always maintained that between the levels there is a struggle for
domination, a competition for domination, a conflict of interests (if
you like) where a higher 'form of evolutionary value patterns' competes
for domination with the lower evolved value patterns. It may be that the
confusion is sorted in annotation 52 where Pirsig suggests that 'the
conflicts mentioned here (of the social level being aware of the
intellectual level,in Lila's Child, p 126) are intellectual conflicts in
which one side clings to an intellectual justification of existing
social patterns and the other side intellectually opposes the existing
social patterns...' p143.
