\u201cIt is conceivable that our misunderstandings of the natural world, our misuse of it, and our conflicted relationship with it would not be conceivable without such ordering systems to formulate a picture of how they work and how we work within them.\u201d (David Brooks)<\/p>\n
Why is this board here? OW! What does that say? 6-2? Who\u2019s that? What are they doing\u2014these people? Locking us in these frames. We can\u2019t move! Who do they think they are? We\u2019re all here\u2014the school and I\u2014being locked in these boards showing numbers and rules. It\u2019s like we\u2019re some spectacle, some show for them. Why? Why can\u2019t we do that to them? Hey you, yeah you sir, in your white lab coat and goggles. Let us order you. Let us put you in some box with a long name like homoooo sapieeen and tell you who your ancestors are. You think you know us, where we come from? As if. You hurt us. You eat us. You pollute our home. You try and make sense of us and show the world how we live. Let me tell you this\u2026 You can\u2019t explain through your numbers and lines and planks how we live. We just live. We swim there, eat here, breathe over there, flop here.. you know, it\u2019s simple. There\u2019s no need to put us in your systems. Just let us be.
