    Thanks Mark,
     
    I understand what you're saying and I think you are right. But I was
    wondering if there are more, what you call Fallouts.
    Like do people really believe or show signs that we are in some kind of
    social crisis. (of course its possible people are but at the same time
    are not really bothered by it)

    Hello Marc,
    The genetic defect in reason is the replacement of Truth over the Good.
    One consequence of this is that truth is regarded as real while Quality
    is superficial. However, if we replace Quality as the real, Truth
    becomes a valued intellectual tool in the pursuit of Quality.
    The social fallout of all this appears to be a negation of Human values
    - blind, 'Value free' truth-seeking science has got a bit out of hand
    and is running away with harmful consequences. Human life is devalued.

    That's the way i see it Marc.
    All the best,
    Mark

    Hi, still a lurker but I'm working intensely through Pirsigs books
    again. And I see many remarks which create questions, which they didn't
    befor.

    (Translated from dutch)
    the cause of our present social crisis is a genetic defect in...
    reason... etc

    I can understand what he is trying to say about reason, but the first
    thing.... Do people really think there is something going on as a social
    crisis?
