quantifiable bias is a boundary in and of itself. For we may have etched a few straight lines through or above travel restrictive boundaries, but only at the cost of a new psychological boundary: efficiency dictated thinking. No longer are we contained by oceans or mountain ranges, only capitalist ideologies.

Longitude and latitude are failed attempts to reshape the earth. Try as one may, piles are simply unavoidable.
