OKay, I was reading Matthew Good's blog again just now and I came across a very odd quote. Matthew lives with Parker, who is mathematically gifted to the point of insnaity. She gets migraines if her mind isnt busy and often wakes up in the night to scribble an equation on a dry-erase board in the kitchen. One night Matthew came into the kitchen to d=find the answer to an equation on the board. he could see that she had been working on it for a while becasue there were marks from others scribbles she'd erase.
The answer to her equation was this:

= if information is power, power controls information. If control is the opposite of freedom then freedom controls the right to be stupid. Possessing the right to be stupid is precisely why stupid is in charge.

I've been repeating it in my head and out loud over and over and I think I've almost got it, then it slips away and I'm left thinking "This woman was insane, or incredibly brilliant. Probably the latter."

What I've got is:
info = power
power > info
control /=/ freedom
freedom = stupid
stupid = power

I myself have no idea what I just wrote means. I thought looking at it in some kind of formula would help me understand her thinking, but obviously not.
