It seems to me that none of these lessons, erin, require MOQ at all. That is, we
had the philosophical tools to reach this kind of understanding *prior* to both
ZAMM and LILA. I'm pretty sure Pirsig knew that too and was trying to say
something new and different, although perhaps, in that line.
BTW: "living at the edge" happens to be one of my favorite expressions, although I
developed this affection to it independent of any Pirsig book. Are you referring
to something specific (Zen, etc.) or is it an expression you coined on your own?
(Or found in Pirsig? I wouldn't remember where he uses it and how).
I would be interested to know what that means to you. Perhaps here we have an
instance of a common language. (Mmmh... this is honest, no sarcasm in case you are
wondering).
