  Pirsig states that "not just life, but everything, is an ethical 
activity." This is the answer to the penultimate philosophical question: 
"just why exactly did life evolve?" - it was better than not to.

  As for the mind - being the combination of the social and intellectual 
levels manifested in each unique individual - yes, it exists. Yes, it grows 
from the bio-chemical events in the brain.
