Agree. The problem is (as Pirsig points out) that the current SOM
intellectual pattern doesn't recognize the role of society in dominating
biological patterns of crime. That attack on America was a biological
criminal attack, not an intellectual one has some on this site have
suggested.
Why is it not an intellectual attack? What makes the ideas of another inferior to the point where they are not even considered ideas, but germs? Of course they are immoral ideas of destroying American commerce, but you can't just say they are germs by way of one sentence absent of any logical proof. Thousands of people have perished under the US's attempts to stop the spread of Communism. What was so damn bad about Communism that we had to go to war more than once to stop it? I call that misguided intellect, which is what the terrorist attacks, in my opinion, were.
