Keith, Miv et al,
What would I aim at, reading Lila in this slow reading list ?
Right now I am a little bit inspired and heavily disoriented. What I like
about the slow reading list is the word ' slow '. Going into detail,
answering all the questions, moving on as a group, taking care of new
members. Surveying the origin of this new way of thinking.
As I wrote earlier on I believe it would be beneficial if there are people
which have not read Lila and ZAMM. There is too much structurized,
developed, readymade thinking around. A clash of titans. In a way this is an
immune system - difficult to enter. There are already answers to unasked
questions. Easily they turn out to be thinking traps.
I remember Mr. Pirsig writes in ZAMM about different philosophers and their
motivation. He mentions some use philosophy as training and playground for
their intellect. Is anybody out there feeling anything ?
I'd like more well made mistakes, naivety and a bridge to everyday life. Why
should we not take this whole issue out of the fighting ground and go with
Mr. Pirsig out in the park having a picnic. (Like Ludwig Wittgenstein )
Probably what I'm looking for is a platform which is easier to enter - even
for the interested and unexperienced. What kind of people would enter if
access would be easier and what would happen ?
In the name of DQ.
Thanx,
Andreas Deppner
