Status Updates From Zen and the Art of Motorcyc...

DNF. as a motorcycle guy I could barely hang on here. It’s dated, and the repackaged eastern philosophy through the lens of a white dude who says “women typically don’t like motorcycles because they want to understand what something is instead of why something is” and refuses to take his kid to therapy because “we’ll fix him on the road” just doesn’t take for me. A boomer’s wet dream.

Quality is undefined
"Squareness may be succinctly and yet thoroughly defined as an inability to see quality before it's been intellectually defined, that is, before it gets all chopped up into words."

or imo chopped up into images; being square means you can only see something as quality after its been neatly categorized (e.g. cottagecore, indie sleaze, etc.). quality for "squares" is created only discursively
