Squonk,
I think we should let Pirsig rule on your thoughts of
John, the degenerate.
LILA p 256:
This is really the central problem in the
static-Dynamic conflict of evolution: how do you tell
the saviors from the degenerates? Particularly when
they look alike, talk alike, and break all the rules
alike? Freedoms that save the saviors also save the
degenerates and allow them to tear the whole society
apart. But restrictions that stop degenerates also
stop the creative Dynamic forces of evolution... It is
only with a century or so of hindsight that it appears
evolutionary.
