Deja vu. Again Platt, your interpretation of what I wrote is that all
metanarratives are equal. My interpretation of what I wrote is that that there
is no ONE metanarrative. I don't know how to say this but my interpretation is
right for the reason it is a literal interpretation.

Again no where did I say that so stop arguing with nonexistent statements.

Right. Pirsig has SOM and MOQ as intellectual level patterns and leaves the
door open for new ones to replace MOQ. It is consistent with what I said
about there not being ONE language game, metanarrative.
P.S. Thanks for your comments although everything you said I had already
predicted would be said by you. Come on Platt try and surprise me and say
something new (about what has actually been written).
