I’m not making any arguments for or against protests here, I’m saying that your painting with a very broad brush and using certain examples that you’re aware of to dismiss a generation.

Re: Dharma of Skating...
I'm guessing many of us have read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I was already riding when that come out in 1974, and was eagerly awaiting interesting tales about wrenching and maybe some good tips. At the time, I found the book a bit disappointing.
But apparently some seeds had been planted. Over 100,000 miles later, turns out there was a whole 'nother level I missed on the first go around. Took me years to catch up. Funny how things work sometimes.

I read much of it, listened to it as an audiobook. Not much wrenching, not much zen, it seemed to me mostly about him fooling around with his projections. But I'll give him credit for the basic mechanical work- not pro level but good shade tree competence.justsit wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 3:38 pm I'm guessing many of us have read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
