Hello Johnny,

PIRSIG (LILA ch13 p183 )
In general, given a choice of two courses to follow and all other things
being equal, that choice which is more Dynamic, that is, at a higher level
of evolution, is more moral.

RICK
As the quote above makes perfectly clear, in the Metaphysics of Quality (as
conceived by Pirsig), when the pros and cons of following one given course
over another are too balanced to indicate which is the more moral course,
the scales ought to be tipped towards the more Dynamic choice.

take care,
rick
