Hugo,
Morals, according to Pirsig, have everything to say about the rights or
wrongs in the different exercises of free will.
The hierarchy of values is an ordering of morals. Biological exercises
of free will are immoral when they negatively affect social values.
Thus it is moral to imprison a rapist, but imprisoning a political
dissident is immoral. Murder is immoral in any context and so on.
