Yes. There have been some contributors here who have suggested
that parts of the MOQ exhibit fascist tendencies. I do note, however, that
the passage excerpted above does not quote Pirsig as does the
purported quote from Chomsky. If your point is that the source of a
point of view makes the point of view in question invalid, a strict
logician would probably object.
Anyway, thanks for the cautionary note.
