    But, when I'm philosophizing, don't doubt that I could give a rat's ass as
    to if Pirsig thought of himself as essentialist or not. I've been carrying
    on a discussion with the essentialist camp and pointing out his
    antiessentialist passages for a year. Doesn't seem to help though.

    Pointing out his antiessentialist passages for a year? I don't recall you
    ever posting a Pirsig passage. I find it hard to see how you are talking
    about Pirsig at all. Matt, haven't you noticed that the only ones who really
    understand you are the ones who've read your favorites and are already
    familiar with all the pretentious jargon? Don't you know how to explain
    ideas in ordinary language? I dare say it is your own damn fault. Its almost
    like you'd rather be the misunderstood martyr than actully do the work it
    takes to be clear.
