                                                                            Dueling banjos

Deliverance  A classic film

                            Classic adventure down the Cahulawassee River  Remote northern Georgia

Why do youwhy you know remember that those . details?

The film made an impression

                               The following weekend me an two buddies made a trip in Southern Illinois

Though  curiously

                      I cant remember the name of tha river

   I distinctly remember the unfortunate kid.

Unfortunate

looked at him aslantaskew  You don’t think so?

You play the banjo

                      If no  I coud think you unfortunatekid  he might think you unfortunate too

Follow

   I follow.  But we’re talking about two different things.

Tha he can play you cant

Are you purposefully overlooking the obvious?

The obvious neednt be the be-all end-all

steeling himself  He was misfortunat . .

. . Facially

            Film didnt lingerdidnt  develop   his character

Nooo.

No

     Though you know wha I woud have liked to seen

His character developed?

No Seriously  he didnt let his imp out of its box    

Seriously.

              I have no idea what you would have liked to seen.

The casting call   Audition

You’re a sick puppy.

I thought of you . .

. . I wish you woudnt

flummoxed him

                   What?

Dondo tha

   Think of you?

Yes  Stop

Why?

Because youll misrepresent me

I won’t.

You will

            You your buddies want to talk about me talk to me

You havent the wherewithal to speak for me

Zip  None

But I kno . .

. . Shit

         Do not do not do not  talk about me

Why?

Notational thinking

                      Which I exhibit every day you rarely

What is notational thinking?

You have your iPhone

                        Aww   But youd rather not work tha hard

Really going to try to bea . .

. . Beat you up with your own words

                                        Cut to the chase

Ted Chiang  Truth of Fact Truth of Feeling

You cherish truth

I do.

Yes you do

             Writing  notational  helps you decide whaya woud say before you said it

Before you woud say

                          Anyour mouth usually outrunsbeats your brain

I wouldn’t say that.

No I have  I woud say tha

                               Words arent just pieces of speaking but pieces of thinking

Agree

   I woul . .

. . Took you long enoughought to have been immediate  a kneejerk reaction

Write your words down Theyll help you grasp your thoughts help configureem constructem help you enjoy a variety of configurations arrangements  By writinem down in a way you cant if youre just talkin   An seeinem you can improveem makeem stronger  help you to better elaborate

You don

   Do not talk about me
