On the contrary Rod, I was quoting Pirsig in the precise context in which
his thought was intended.
You were complaining that that forum as a whole seemed STUCK on debating
Pirsig's meaning. I was suggesting that if your were having trouble finding
original thoughts in what goes on here, maybe you should try examining
things closer up... brick by brick... one thread at a time, one member at a
time, one essay at a time... By examining things closer up, you may find
that there's alot more here to lock on to than you thought there was at
first. And that, I believe, is precisely what the quote I gave you said.
ROD
Maybe one of the reasons I feel frustrated is the fog index of this groups
discussions is off the scale!! This may mean I'm missing a lot of what is
actually said!!
RICK
You dismissed my use of a Pirsig quote as 'out of context' when it was not.
I'll bet you've skipped over a dozen original ideas for the same reasons.
If you're missing too much because the fog feels think, you need to slow
down and examine things closer.
thanks for the chat
