Both Pirsig and I rebel against 20th century intellectuals who fail to
recognize much less understand the social/biological conflict..His format
was a book called "Lila," especially Chapters 22 and 24. My format is
here. But I come nowhere close to his depth and breadth in matters
metaphysical and aesthetic.
