Hullo Squonk,
You say "Pirsig is a bunch of patterns". "The patterns mediate DQ." "In
order to mediate well one has to dissolve into DQ."
There is an ambiguity here. Either Pirsig is patterns, and the patterns
mediate DQ, or, Pirsig is a human being (one) who is able to mediate DQ well
by dissolving into it. Both can't be true, as an explanation of how DQ is
mediated, so far as I can see.
While I think the first explanation is nonsense, Pirsig comes very close to
endorsing it in Lila. That is one of the problems I have with Pirsig's MOQ.
