Dear David B.,
You asked 23/11 9:00-0700:
'Why can't Lila be a person that is no part of intellectual values?'
Because she has/is/participates in 'mind'. She collects and manipulates
symbols.
One example: she uses her doll as symbol of her lost (murdered?) child. She
even loses herself at times in that self-created symbolic world.
Pirsig wrote in 'Lila's Child':
'For purposes of MOQ precision, let's say the intellectual level is the same
as mind. It is the collection and manipulation of symbols, created in the
brain, that stand for patterns of experience.'
With friendly greetings,
Wim
