Let's discuss the role that sex plays in Lila.
Is it just a metaphor through which Pirsig pricks our 'ethical' skin, or
something more?
Is the reader to conclude that Lila is a slut/loose woman?
What does Rigel see in Lila's sexuality that causes him to react so
negatively to Phadreus' claim that Lila has quality?
Why is Lila willing to have intercourse with the Captain/Author/Phadreus?
(what's the draw/appeal to him.)
What are we to conclude about the special high quality sexual experience
Lila gives Phadreus - one that she suspects he is actually unaware of? Is he
unaware of it?
How does the physiological experience of an orgasm (arguably an experience
we share across the boundary of dozens of species) fit into the MOQ, or does
that experience fall outside of the MOQ? Is it not transcendental?
