Bassouls, Jim Harrison, 1997
You see clearly that the linear is a hoax and the last thing
the tectonics of consciousness follow is our world of letters and numbers. The
bursting of your nuerons follows paths that make the grandest computers look
like McGuffey’s Readers. This doesn’t make me pessimistic about the usefulness
of computers only that they don’t create works equivalent to Shakespeare or
Mozart, nor are they meant to. Curiously humans have always been more interested
in process than subject. A laptop at base is a stick used by a chimpanzee to
get the delicious ants out of a hole in a log.
