Ever wonder what the bluehaired genius does in class when she's bored and can't sneak in a math or science book or computer? Does she doodle or scribble like the rest of the class?

Pursuit of Knowledge
----------------------------------

A man stalks down corridors of dull metallic walls and even glow from ceiling.

Many doors -- evenly spaced, along, beside he passes.

A light shows beneath the closed door ahead,

and the man enters.

Picture many men striding, women gliding, down many corridors

and randomly or thru design entering the closed doors.

I refute -- this is not the scientific method for pursuit of knowledge.

All things learned are found by human beings,

which are alive and moving,

living, being, joyous motion,

not mechanical machines,

an artificial creation.

Nay, even this is false,

Think of inanimate matter,

of its internal motion,

eternally does not consist of stillness,

but motion and rich understanding.
