"Before we go any further here, has it ever occurred to any of you
that all this is simply one grand misunderstanding? Since you're not here
to learn anything, but to be taught so you can pass these tests, knowledge
has to be organized so it can be taught, and it has to be reduced to information
so it can be organized do you follow that? In other words this leads you
to assume that organization is an inherent property of the knowledge itself,
and that disorder and chaos are simply irrelevant forces that threaten
it from outside. In fact it's exactly the opposite. Order is simply a thin,
perilous condition we try to impose on the basic reality of chaos..."
--William Gaddis, from "JR"
