Just like to offer a summary of the state of play on this one. A consensus
exists that:

1. We'd all like to know more about Heidegger, because we're interested on
philosophy, and the fact that Heidegger was a Nazi doesn't mean he never
said anything interesting, philosophically speaking

2. We don't think ignorance of Heidegger is proof, in itself, that Pirsig
or anyone else is an idiot, philosophically speaking

3. That's it

So, maybe now someone would like to quit debating these three oh so very
deep propositions, and tell us something about the little matter of what
Heidegger actually thought, and how it relates to Pirsig.

Kevin? Anyone?
