Eh. Philosophy doesn't particularly interest me. Nor do aesthetics or art. And I love the rational. As such, empathizing with Pirsig's mission was difficult. But what I found most problematic was not the theory that everything emerges from quality, that the rational and the aesthetic could be merged through quality, and that dialectics muck everything up, but that all this must be done on an individual level. Pirsig's proposal was something along the lines of a metaphysical version of urging everyone to change to energy-efficient light bulbs to stop global warning. And in the same manner, it won't work. To cure the world of its woes and give humans more fulfilling lives, which is what Pirsig says is his aim, you have to organize and mobilize and not make individually-directed entreaties.
