This is a Pirsig worldview site and not a general metaphysics site. So how
far can I go? Do you really want me to explode out of Pirsig and into a
Full Grand
Unified Metaphysics of Ultimate Reality? [How's that for delusions of
grandeur!]

DMB:
I've given up on the essays. Haven't seen one yet that was worth very much.
The grander it is, the worse it is. If I ever decide to write one, it'll be
about just one brick, not the whole structure. A person could write 10,000
words about a single brick and still have more to say. To write a "Full
Grand Unified Metaphysics" would require a whole new book, a big fat book,
at the very least.

But I think its well worth comparing Wilber's views with Pirsig's. Each has
helped me understand the other and they're much, much more alike than not.

And they used to be lovers. Just kidding.
