A philosophical editorial column for magazine publication based on experiences in Queens, New York, gathered through interviews, late night park chess games, and various travels on trains and subways. The column touches upon the ideas of learning and classifying information by quantifying it, versus using emotion, feeling and experience to understand information. As a possible solution, the column suggests symbols and colors as perhaps better, or perhaps more advanced ways of classifying things, communicating and learning.
