How many words do you need to make art?
In his post Tools vs Insights, Seth G. strips down the opening lines of Fight Club, along with the verse Green Eggs and Ham. A total of two and four lines, respectively.
And taken alone out of context it is hard to see the power of those simple words. Yet put them together as the authors have, and something powerful and moving emerges. Something memorable. And yet so vastly different.
So maybe a million monkeys on typewriters could end up with Shakespeare. Or even something more moving. Why not be one of the mmmmmiiiiiiiiiillions [ht, the rock] - go create. Make a post or a poem over the weekend
