NOACVS 56-80

"Notebooks of a Chile Verde Smuggler", Juan Felipe Herrera
Pg.64

" Everyone is talking about growing the brain by the age of I; grow the brain! I suppose the brain is the ultimate sale, product, frontier, capsule, coin, cow, chick, river, horse, train, rubber, wheel, map slop, over yonder there is a brain to plow, to sell & sew, carry to market! Who owns the market?"

This quote is interesting because it really improvises on society and the corporate way of advertising the brain. Society, without people noticing, creates standards for people with intelligence to those that are considered "dumb". Those that are intelligent are advertised and used only to support the corporates and societies.

"A lie in the algebra"

This is interesting because what happens if there was a lie in the algebra? Then everything that anyone learned mathematically would be incorrect. Also, anything scientific would be mathematically wrong. So, what would happen? Society would fall and humans would have to restart from the beginning. This is an interesting concept.
