Response to "A Plan for the Curriculum of the Soul"

Strategies:

Typewriter with handwritten emphasis and additional words punctuation: suggests the tension between the human hand as it is being replaced by technology after technology, by making an atypical page with a typewriter creates a sense of possible innovation and creativity within standardized forms.

Use of underline emphasis to make a comparison of jazz, dance, art, belief, Egyptian hieroglyphs: a depiction of the innate human desire/need to have a sound, to express the self, to reach out in a world where yr hands won't ever be able to touch everything and touch something

Reads like an equation at times: suggests a formula for the destruction of binary concepts through the fusion of conventional oppositions (emotional/physical, etc.) that is also reminiscent of Macuria's manifesto, in the sense of showing the science of language (in Macuria, via definitions/phonetic diagrams/variations in literal meaning) as a way of creating a formula for the destruction of the artistic world contained for the cultural/academic elite and the subsequent creation of a "non art" world/consciousness
