Postmodernism or Pirsig? "One can then examine intellectual realities the same way he examines paintings in an art gallery, not to find which one is the "real" painting, but simply to enjoy and keep those that are of value. There are many sets of intellectual reality in existence and we can perceive some to have more quality than others, but that we do so is, in part, the result of our history and current patterns of values." Your got a problem with that? [Krimel] Not especially but I have a problem with shallow literal interpretations and quoting Pirsig like he is scripture. Are you saying that even in aesthetics there are no criteria for establishing relative value? Aren't you the one touting the superiority of cave paintings and Mozart? What the Heck?
