I've searched in vain in Pirsig's works for a description of hippie social
morals
that he thought were superior to the morals of the day. He loved the free,
Dynamic
aspect of the hippies, the experimental aspect of their culture. But that
also seems to be a worthy aspect of the free market system. So my question is:
What did make them "the moral guys in the first place," based on MOQ principles?
Pirsig said the hippies undermined both intellectual and social patterns and
nothing better has been introduced to replace them. Makes me wonder what the
hippies had that is worth of resurrecting today.
