Hi Wim,
I have no problem at all with Bo creating his own intellectual art. I hope
you have no problem with me appreciating Robert Pirsig's art?
My concern is with students visiting this site in order to explore Robert
Pirsig's work. You see Wim, if i recommend this site to fellow students, they
visit and later approach me asking what Pirsig means by Q-intellect? I reply
Q-intellect is not a term recognised or used by Robert Pirsig.
Invariably, when students realise what Q-intellect means, they understand it
would be a very great insult to Robert Pirsig to have attribute Q-intellect to
him.
All the best,
Mark
