He promotes absorbing karmic garbage.
I have a lot of concerns that many "programs" and "plans"
do just that. Everybody's ideas of a
good program is going to be different, depending
on what you value. MOQ works very well for me as a personal tool to
understand how different people value different
things and its all good.
If Pirsig values freedom wouldn't it be contradictory
to develop a program to tell people what to do.
His actions was to tell stories. These
actions are not contradictory to what he is teaching.
To tell an author who I believe works really
hard on his novels that he is not 'doing' anything
is wrong to me.
