I think I understand almost everything you and Scott
say, so maybe you just ain't trying hard enough. Why don't
you try dealing with one thing you don't understand at a time
rather than giving us your whole world view every time
and trying to fit what other people say into it. You never
know maybe something in it will prove to be inconsistent or
unjusrtified and it is confusing you. I like the whole WIlber
Pirsig link but I think Scott is digging quite deep but sometimes
seeing differences with Pirsig with a strict rather than fair reading.
