From: Sriram Subramaniam: I've been reading and re-reading Lila for many
years now, and I've noticed there is a sentence which I think is phrased
incorrectly, and I was wondering if anyone else had any thoughts about it.
In chapter 24, near the bottom of page 348 of my Bantam paperback edition,
the statement appears: "Just as the intellectual revolution undermined
social patterns, the Hippies undermined both static and intellectual
patterns." I think this statement is phrased incorrectly. The correct
statement should read: "...the Hippies undermined both social and
intellectual patterns."
[David Buchanan]
Right. I think its safe to conclude that he's saying the hippies undermined
social and intellectual static patterns and the sentence could be fixed
simply by adding the word "social". Along the same lines, a page or two
before that mistake it reads, "The hippie revolution of the eighties was a
moral revolution...". If you know what it was like during the Reagan years,
and especially if you tried to be a hippie in the eighties, then you know
what a hilarious mistake that is.
