GENIUS (“spirit’)
individual
collaborative & why can’t they just
get along?
Can I see the difference?
Show the relationship?
A difference like part to holy: alien, hostile
& uncanny. Ask Joe Fish to define wet.
Tell Fred Flatlander: “Measure a sphere.
Assess this!”
Imagine
classroom chatter
discussing whining
arguing expostulating
trading lies biases
beliefs prejudices
convictions points
of viewing &
personal
opinion:
our most sustainable
renewable resource—
mothering inventories.
I say:
the elephant is
very like a tree.
“Imagination is worth more than
knowledge,” says Albert. A
stochastic process is worth
more than individual acquired
traces of industrialized knowing
textual harass-mental studies:
scores on quizzes reinforcing
my attention efficient policies,
proctored examinations, term
& semester papers, poster
projects letter grades, q.p.a’s
& resumes of trivial pursuit.
Imaagine
A course of a different color:
Where co-labor counts more
than labor & collective genius
trumps individual accomplish-
mental studies & leadership
pogroms.
Where relationship ratios &
shared rationalizations matter
more than discreet, digital
declarations of independence
and synthesis beats hell out
of thesis-&-antithesis providing
they stay in play, damnit: merging
emergent emergency co-operations
oo la la, eureka & holy smokes:
who wouldov thunkit all by
myself?
And the environment encourages
failure, knowing better, & suspects
clarity: cultivating large margins of
error's room for play where fools
rush in to give weight for give &
take: loving the bad guy as a goodie
& Buddha like an enemy you meet
on the road (in “school” mode, at least—
not
“church” & “state” modes.)
Nonsense
Common Sense
No-Sense-At-All..These 3. And the greatest of these is
no sense at all passing understanding
.
