John and Ian (and all);
IAN:
"I have to say I agree with you that there is more to life than thinking and
reading books. Without a playground in which to apply
these ideas it's merely geometry."
RICK:
Preach on brother. RMP agrees as well....
PIRSIG:
"To discover a metaphysical relationship between Quality and the Buddha at
some moutaintop of personal experience is very spectacular. And very
UNIMPORTANT (my emphasis).... What IS important is the relevance of such a
discovery to all the valleys of this world...."
IAN:
"The problem, I think, comes when you go along to get along. Give up the
debate and row in with thinking you know to be incorrect."
RICK:
Isn't there some comfortable middle ground??? Are we doomed to be either
conformist sheep or ANALytical nitpickers?--- How about--- Give up the
debate and row in WITHOUT the thinking you know to be incorrect (ya know
what I'm sayin?).
JOHN:
The world is full of gullible innocents who would not be harmed by a little
critical thought.
RICK:
The world is also full of gullible innocents who would not be harmed by a
little less.
(On a side note)
IAN:
"I find it hard to think of anyone who had bad things to say about
Phaedrus."
RICK:
I believe you will find this attitude DEADLY to Quality.
I'm going outside now,
Rick
