More From Robert M. Pirsig

We cannot solve a problem by saying, "it's not my problem." we cannot solve a problem by hoping that someone else will solve it for us. i can solve a problem only when i say, "this is my problem and it's up to me to solve it."
Confusion Problem Solve
Solving the population problem is not going to solve the problems of racism, of sexism, of religious intolerance, of war, of gross economic inequality. but if you don't solve the population problem, you're not going to solve any of those problems. whatever problem you're interested in, you're not going to solve it unless you also solve the population problem. whatever your cause, it's a lost cause without population control.

Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.

There are always those who say legislation can't solve the problem. there is a half-truth involved here. it is true that legislation cannot solve the whole problem. it can solve some of the problem. it may be true that morality can't be legislated, but behavior can be regulated.
Half May Morality
What’s next for technology and design? a lot less thinking about technology for technology’s sake, and a lot more thinking about design. art humanizes technology and makes it understandable. design is needed to make sense of information overload. it is why art and design will rise in importance during this century as we try to make sense of all the possibilities that digital technology now affords.
Art Technology Thinking
Anyone who has studied the history of technology knows that technological change is always a faustian bargain: technology giveth and technology taketh away, and not always in equal measure. a new technology sometimes creates more than it destroys. sometimes, it destroys more than it creates. but it is never one-sided. the invention of the printing press is an excellent example. printing fostered the modern idea of individuality but it destroyed the medieval sense of community and social integration.

Technology is permeating every single thing we do... and to the extent that we can better expose our young people to all the different ways that technology can be used, not just for video games or toys, we're planning for the future.

I am fascinated by all the new technology that creates places for us to meet in what is called cyberspace. i understand what it must have meant for the rebellions in the 19th century, especially in 1830 and 1848, when the mass circulated newspaper became so important for the spreading of information.

We are already producing enough food to feed the world. we already have technology in place that allows us to produce more than we can find a market for.
