New Site

We're making a change to the way that we release work for our classes. The main lessons (the things that we'll do in class each day) will now be found at the site "Optimal Beneficial Moreover Detrimental: Classroom." We're keeping this site, with a slightly different name, in order to release a reading a day for students to practice their reading at home. Each post will contain a link to a reading, along with a list of assignments that can be completed for that reading.

16.4. "Southbound on the Freeway," May Swenson

Useful Idea for Thought Experiments - "The Anthropologist from Mars"

First, read this awesome poem by May Swenson, "Southbound on the Freeway."

Then, watch this thematically similar bit by comedian Jerry Seinfeld from the 1990s sitcom Seinfeld.



Question: How are the themes expressed by these two clips the same? How are they different?
