Squonk,

So what do I suggest? Don't read my writings. It really is that simple.

The thing is, Quality IS right there, in your face, UNDERSTANDABLE!
It is YOU who 'obscure the bullseye' with all your convoluted twang. And
being convoluted serves your project of appearing to be more on the ball
than you are. The more you talk, the more you move away from Quality. I
find your suggestion to be one of the most helpful you have ever made.
Matt:
So, I'm guessing that you didn't like Lila very much then, right? Because,
afterall, Pirsig wrote it though he knew talking about Quality would just
move him away from it. But, Pirsig's reasoning is that it seemed to be a
higher Quality action to write it, then not. How come, when I reason the
same way, it turns out that that my actions are not higher Quality? How
come, when Pirsig and I have legitimate, by Pirsig's own standards,
disagreements about which actions are of higher Quality then others (for
instance, he sees more Quality in metaphysics then I do), Pirsig is always
right and I'm always wrong, seemingly by virtue of not being Pirsig?
But, at the least, I'm glad you like my suggestion. I hope it helps clear
you head.
Matt
