A somewhat advanced society has figured how to package basic knowledge in
pill form. A student, needing some learning, goes to the pharmacy and asks
what kinds of knowledge pills are available.
The pharmacist says “Here’s a pill for English literature.” The student
takes the pill and swallows it and has new knowledge about English
literature!
“What else do you have?” asks the student.
“Well, I have pills for art history, biology, and world history,” replies
the pharmacist.
The student asks for these, and swallows them and has new knowledge about
those subjects.
Then the student asks, “Do you have a pill for math?”
The pharmacist says “Wait just a moment”, and goes back into the storeroom
and brings back a whopper of a pill over a foot long, and plunks it on the
counter.
“I have to take that huge pill for math?” inquires the student.
The pharmacist replied “Well, we all know math always was a little hard to
swallow.”
