More From Max Muller

I see the gap ads as being a great example of how branding has changed. those gap campaigns are pop culture. they've been incredibly powerful. they have had the kind of effect on culture that a hit band has. just look at the gap's khaki swing ads, which were music videos. they had this tremendous impact on the industry - suddenly everything started looking like gap ads and it became difficult to know who was co-opting whom and who was creating culture.

To me the question right now is: how do i close that first three-quarters of the achievement gap, education gap, wealth gap? what gives me the best chance to do that? and i'm pretty darn sure that if america is a just society and treating people well right now, irrespective of past wrongs, that i'm going to close a big chunk of that gap. i've seen it.

One way to think about what psychedelics are is as catalysts for language development. they literally force the evolution of language. you cannot evolve faster than your language because the language defines the culture of meaning. so if there's a way to accelerate the evolution of language then this is real consciousness expansion and it's a permanent thing. the great legacies of the 60's are in attitudes and language. it boils down to doing your own thing, feeling the vibe, ego-trip, blowing your mind.

There are two methods for the literary study of any book - the first being the study of its thought and emotion; the second only that of its workmanship. a student of literature should study some of the bible from both points of view.

Literature, the study of literature in english in the 19th century, did not belong to literary studies, which had to do with greek, latin, and hebrew, but instead with elocution and public speaking. so when people read literature, it was to memorize and to recite it.

Latin, as we all know, ultimately broke down into spanish, italian, french, and so on. one wonders whether there will be an imperial parallel with english breaking down into, shall we say, north american, european, australian, and so on. on the other hand, there is this immense, inward-driving influence of radio and television that is bringing us all back together. one could say it's a fight between the two: a fight between regionalism and the standardization through communication.

Words change their meanings, just as organisms evolve. we would impose an enormous burden on our economy if we insisted on payment in cattle every time we identified a bonus as a pecuniary advantage (from the latin pecus , or cattle, a verbal fossil from a former commercial reality).
