21_YOU CANNOT DISCOVER ART ART MUST BE CREATED_ he sat on the couch at home
22while his mother watched TV and smoked. Dinner had been chicken and peas with
23milk and afterward Paul and his mother sat on opposite ends of the couch. At
24intervals she would look sideways at Paul writing. He pretended not to notice.
25
26_ART = ARTIFICE_ he wrote. _ARTIFICE MEANS UNNATURAL. ARTIFICE MEANS BUILT.
27TO BUILD MEANS TO FIND A PATTERN & FIND A PATTERN IS WHAT WE ARE GOOD AT._ He
28thought about this while someone else won a car.
29
30"Do you think humans are good at finding patterns because we are hunters" he
31asked his mother. She looked sideways at him and said "Sure Paul." "Early on
32in our evolution we were hunters right? And to hunt we had to see the
33patterns in seemingly random events, like where the gazelle went each year"
34"Paul I'm trying to watch TV. If you're going to write this stuff go do it in
35your room you're distracting." Paul got up and went to his room and lay down
36on his bed.
37
38"If the gazelle went to the same place every year" he thought "did they know
39the pattern too? Or was it random for them, did they think each year 'This
40seems like a good spot let's graze here' without knowing?"
41
42He wrote _PATTERN = MEMORY_ in his notebook.
