Ben, Pirsig is not infallible.
Socialism is an intellectualized form of slavery. Slavery, even dressed up, is immoral. Pirsig sells books for profit (see; ZAMM, Lila), that alone makes him a Capitalist. I don't know of a civilization that wasn't taxed, we have no knowledge of how real Capitalism works. >funding libraries protects us >from losing the static quality held in books. Makes sense if your premise is; books would not exist without libraries. Is that your premise? Isn't it the other way round? >one could argue that funding education has a larger positive effect >on the creation of dynamic quality. Makes sense if your premise is; public schools make people smarter instead of socializing them for the workplace and that without public schools people would not want to learn. Is that your premise? How do you explain the successes of home schooling and private educations?
