'Trying too hard'? Yoko Ono may have a future as 'Barack Obama's speechwriter'

Based on her advice for gathering information, she’d fit right in with the other wordsmiths on Team Obama:

Count all the words in the book instead of reading them. Count all the objects in the room without classifying them.

Profound stuff, as usual.

Has anyone ever said to Yoko Ono, “seriously, what the fuck are you talking about?”

@yokoono Count your fingers instead of bananas. Count the number of seeds on a strawberry, then throw it away in front of a hungry child.

RT @yokoono: Count all the words in the book instead of reading them. Count all the objects in the room without classifying them–idiotic.

Yoko, this is terrible advice. Seriously. @yokoono "Count all the words in the book instead of reading them."

True, but bear this in mind: Things could be much, much worse.
