Thanks, I'll look them up. I have read Jack Kerouac, On the Road, great book. [Flashback 20:57 Sep 25, Jack Kerouac, (this means I just remembered the memory for the first time since the lobotomy 13 years ago, specific distinct sensation that happens the very first time I follow a pointer to that memory). Yeah that's me. Let me say here my words are poetry really, in prose format. Prosetry. So for an explanation, the same thing happened to me that happened to August Rodin. Too literal. His statues were too literal so he made sculptures to the point he was accused of literally putting molds against the subject's skin to shape it, which is easy. Nobody really buys this story. Everybody--even at Stanford, which has Rodin statues everywhere, in the places of most honor, largest collection of Rodin statues outside Paris, talk about Rodin a lot but--disbelieves the story. Let me vindicate him now. I had too literally perfect an American English, and that meant everybody assumed I understood how the system worked, when I also assumed I understood how the system worked--different system. So in Chile it's like an egg, there's a shell, as long as the shell hasn't been cracked they respect you, honor contracts, you're set. Chile would have given me a trial in my lynching no matter what. Literally no matter what. In fact I was counting on a trial no matter how kangaroo--kangaroo court would have still been court, plenty good for me, in Chile the courts aren't kangaroo so much as intensely Kafkaesque, but with loopholes for literally one in a million to be spared. I in fact did that, 200000 Chilean students finished high school 2007, I got the best college results by Hacker News standards and in hindsight also. Counted on being the Harvard black of Chile, one slot for the country, got it. Nobody can believe it. Dude no American no matter how racist bigoted like WASP dude Mayflower nothing sees me as anything other than American. That is not where the discrimination is coming from. That was a problem, I couldn't communicate to the administration my copious copious copious evidence or talk to witnesses, nothing. Well it was a lynching, might as well have been speaking Chinese.
