There's a more quality statement than this. There are
5 moral codes for Pirsig. Today, in the
intellectual-social code, the problem is that the
intellectual is dominant BUT it has no values. The
intellectual is RULING but without values (MOQ fixes
this problem). As for the social-biology, the social
is not doing it's job of constraining the biology.
Muslim hates the West for unleashing the biological
impulses of man (353). When you talk Pirsig's ethics
you have to be clear which of the five codes you are
talking about.
