I might reread it some time, but it would help me understand
it if you could explain some of Pirsig's assumptions. Can
you give me examples of intellectual values and social
values? You may think you just gave me an example but I
don't know what the general principles of interest are.
Maybe I'm off base for thinking about general principles.
Perhaps I don't understand moq at all.
How about this general principle from Kant: Regard every man
as an end in himself and never as a means to an end. (I
don't know an exact quote)
Is this intellectual, social, or none of the above?
