Very deep! Our brains are just too big. That’s the problem. We devise all these ways to shut ourselves in and others out. If we just ate, slept, and copulated, the world might be a better place, eh? Although not as interesting…
remove the gates, and welcome chaos with our bare hands.
gates, FTW!

Rhea: Yes! Have you read Galapagos by Vonnegut? Brains too big, indeed.
Hui: Love what you said, remove the gates and welcome chaos with our bare hands. I wonder what chaos feels like when you touch it?
Adam: Yes that worked! I am loving my theme too!
that’s for we to find out
come home! bobby! People’s Republic of Gallaudet is missing your leadership!

geez it’s been like 9 years since I went thru Vonngut’s books… (sara, hold it for the winter holidays… you’ve got all his books at CA….FOCUS on the ones you ve already piled up)
