On the other hand, Pirsig says the world is bursting with subjective
truth. From Lila's Child, Note 59:
"Scientists often forget that all scientific knowledge is subjective
knowledge based on experience, although science does not deny that this is
true. All objects are in fact mental constructs based on experience."
