Personally I do not "believe" in "the MOQ", I think it's an inaccuracy to approach RMPs work in that fashion. What I have gained from Robert Pirsigs work and from this community of contributors is the love of critical thinking. I apply the skills I've learned everyday in my environment and this has improved my life greatly. I am aware of traditional logic traps and how to recognize and avoid them. But basically Bob instilled in me a love for wisdom. As for Tuk, he was here with an agenda. He wields the tools of philosophy as a weapon. Rather carelessly I might add. -Ron .
