    Good Lord! 1580 views for an actual Robert Pirsig video? (Oct 22, 2011) This just about kills me. So happy to find this. Thank you very much for posting, Dr. McWatt.

    It could be argued that it covers the philosophy of how to choose a good boat and of how to stay focused even while steering your ship in the biggest mortal storm. Philosophy was born to improve on our life and Mr.Pirsig did in that August "just" what he preaches. Thanks again.

    July 2005 during my graduation week. It doesn't cover any philosophical topic so this is why this compelling story didn't make it on one of the four MOQ DVDs.
