   Read what JayLo quotes from LZ and ZZ and go   
   find the form of it. If you want Western sources,   
   read Kant, for example. It's your job, dear. All   
   those three are packed choke-full with form,   
   albeit implicit form. Now extract it and make it   
   explicit. A piece of cake. Nothing can be simpler.   
   Except that white scholars in the humanities   
   cannot pull it off.   
      
   "They can become so focused in their areas of   
   expertise that they try to stuff all issues into   
   their narrow area they have mastered rather than   
   step back and see other connections and   
   solutions." That is the sought-after form: "step   
   back and see other connections and solutions."   
   Our very own Lee says it (you know that he is a   
   stooge of mine). No need to go far.
