I guess my point was that, like some famous scientist as I recall
(Einstein perhaps?), I feel as though I can be taught ANYTHING. My
motivation to do so, I must confess, though, is in converse proportion to
the condescension of the one(s) who would purport to teach me.
I just finished re-reading ZMM yesterday. I don't think I'll be following
up with Lila, at least not right away, and perhaps never. From the
reviews I've read on Amazon.com, and from what I understand from ZMM,
Pirsig in "Lila" attempts to analyze quality using Aristotelian
techniques, whereas I think I have been demonstrating I am more of a
Sophist that very much sympathisizes with the "insane" Phaedrus.
Anybody want to join me in reading Jung's "Man and his Symbols"?
