Hello Anthony McWatt are you listening in?. I have a vague
recollection that the question of a "goal" for existence was
answered by Robert Pirsig in a letter to you. That he said that he
had been confronted with the seeming paradox that Dynamic Quality was
both the source and the goal, but I am not able to remember what his
conclusion was, nor am I able to find the actual letter. Could you
please look into your files and see if there is something resembling
this?
Thanks.
Bo
