- Philosophy
In this episode, Eric reads and reviews several passages from Chapter 26 of Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. The theme of the chapter is Pirsig's concept of "Gumption Traps".Do you engage the technologies and information available in our ever-more-complicated times by maintaining your gumption or do you give up that commitment to self-reliance and individual sovereignty and join the others in defeated, grid-locked funeral processions that shuffle back and forth, but ultimately go nowhere?You can support the Zensylvania podcast at https://www.patreon.com/zensylvaniapodcast
