From Tony Buzan’s Mind Maps to Left and Right Brian handoffs and dominants we come so close to Betty Edwards and Rodger Sperry. Rigor misplaced and lost cogitating connections.

So you named your text to imagine generation tool after unapologetic serial [REDACTED] and you wonder why things digressed on surreal levels?! Freud and Jung are probably not needed for the association culpability dance.

Insightful read following Colson Whitehead’s Crook Manifesto, BUT here we are. Hopefully this non-fiction tale treats folks’ corrupt proclivities better.

It is fascinating how Ray Carney and Walter Moseley’s King Oliver are having a productive dialogue across 50 years and the same city. Fixers facilitating the erosion of society constructively.
