The ruling class wants you to be literate enough to understand their written orders. And nothing more. True literacy is punk. True literacy is revolutionary.

...The floating ballerina...

In my twenties my family went to see a showing of The Nutcracker Suite and were seated way up in the high balconies. Every time a sugar-plum fairy daintily sprang up, she came down with a thunderous, audible thump which baked into my mind that physical mechanics works, even when we strive to pretend it can be overcome.
