    The post-modern position is not neutral on values. There is no privileged
    position if, and only if, we construe "privileged position" as meaning
    "ahistorical, universal, privileged metaposition."

    Sigh. This is not an argument or an explanation. As presented, as usual, its
    just a slogan. I honestly wonder what in the world you're talking about. I
    mean, please, for god's sake, give me a real world example of an
    "ahistorical, universal, privileged metaposition". What strange creature
    does this fancy phrase refer to? The divine right of kings? Who posits such
    metapositions except for religious fanatics? And if the MOQ paints a picture
    of a constantly evolving dynamic reality, then what in the world does this
    phrase have to do with Pirsig's work? Examples. I need examples. Sigh.

    Thanks.
