[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

@ChrisPirsig chris, i know what ur doing. u want HIM back

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

@ChrisPirsig sorry no can do

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

gumption: a really ugly word, it needs a friend. btw, the greeks called it euthousiasmos it means to be filled with, u guessed it! QUALITY!

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

then from those two we have our value traps, and egos, laziness, anxiety, bad parts, temp. etc, etc, etc... #chataqua

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

so i guess gumption traps could be like setbacks and hangups #begin_hierarchy

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

however, we must not fall into gumption traps (i.e. anything that causes a dude 2 lose his gumption) LOL i should teach gumption 101

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

i mean think about it, a person with gumption doesn't just sit around all day. NO he's as the front of that train

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

i may or may not have mentioned this earlier, but i like reeeaaallyyy like the word gumption.

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

YES! And classic knowledge would be the boxcars and the engine! #chataqua

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

also i suppose the rails could be quality... ?

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

and by "goin off the rails" i mean i would like to put romantic knowledge at the front of the train.

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

goin off the rails on the knowledge train.

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

ugh these tappets are getting on my nerves

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

okay let me break it down for you: i love hierarchies

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

hmmm lets see, we have a motorcycle which is made of components and functions

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]

[Robert Pirsig @RobPirsig]
