Grammar can be broken down to Subject-Verb-Object. I think Wilson's idea
expresses Pirsig beautifully. If you think of yourself as a verb or process
rather than an object you are less likely to be static
That is a very interesting thought I think we are on the same path but I
don't know if it leads to something. I have been doing some research on the
history of grammer and semantic changes. I have this vague idea of that
subject/attribute(object) division in language is simmilar to subject-object
division but I can be terribly wrong here. I know there has been a change
but I am not yet able to see the whole picture here, maybe you or someone
else has an idea here? In general how does language influence thinking, and
the other way around? I know some changes in how we use language are moral
at least if I understood Nietzsches ''genealogy of the moral'' right. I'll
come back to this
In a few days I when I have access to my archive I will look up what I wrote
about it and where I got stuck.
Greetings Davor
