Erin, Platt --

Platt asked:

I've been wondering the same thing. I note that Erin uses the phrase "more
left-wing as anti-essentialist". Can we infer that "right wingers" are
Essentialists? If so, maybe there's some hope yet for raising the current
administration's flagging public opinion numbers. (Since Pirsig is
considered to be anti-essentialist, I assume it is the politically correct
MoQ position.)

Could you enlighten us with a definition, Erin? Perhaps I can use it in my
thesis.
