Fred Reed says: "In short, I am proposing (and interpreting Pirsig) to say that

valuing offers our *only* possible connection with reality"

The study of brain-damaged behavior, or neurological anomalies such as autism
seems to indicate otherwise. Jaynes has hypothesized that there was a time
when people perceived things without self-consciousness, giving rise to a
culture with a different "reality"...
