The brain sits snugly inside the skull, but it's not a completely flush fit - there is still a layer of fluid between bone and soft tissue that serves as a natural shock absorber. some shocks, however, can't be absorbed, and when the head gets clobbered too hard, the brain can twist or torque or rattle around inside its skeletal casing.

More From Jeffrey Kluger

Are soft-hearted people handicapped in business? you have heard a businessman say of someone else, he's all right, but he's too soft-hearted.... to be soft-hearted may be handicapping, in a sense. but on the whole, a soft heart is to be preferred to a hard heart. hard-hearted, severe, dominating giants sometimes manage to get further and to amass more money. but they get less genuine joy out of life.... it is the hard-boiled employer, not the soft-hearted species, that incites most of our strikes and does most to endanger the harmonious progress of democracy.

Too much horsing around with unrealistic stances and classic forms and rituals is just too artificial and mechanical, and doesn't really prepare the student for actual combat. a guy could get clobbered while getting into this classical mess. classical methods like these, which i consider a form of paralysis, only solidify and constrain what was once fluid. their practitioners are merely blindly rehearsing routines and stunts that will lead nowhere.

First, draw off your hearts, because jesus christ, the head, is risen and ascended upon high, and there sits at the right hand of his father; and if the head is in heaven, where should the members be but where the head is? shall christ our head be in heaven, and shall our hearts, which are his members, lie groveling on the ground and panting after the dust of the earth, making all our inquiry and labor after these? 'if christ our head be risen, seek those things that are above, where christ sits at god's right hand.'

Sam fuller and 'shock corridor' can only be conjured as a mantra. 'shock corridor' is a classic work of art - it's unique. it comes from the unique experience of being sam fuller and yes, there's always that element of 'shock corridor' hovering around the picture, but never specifically. in fact, i didn't even screen it because it's in us. it's in me anyway. it's in me. it was a way of conjuring up support just by saying the name, 'shock corridor,' as i was going to shoot. poor sam [fuller]...

A revolution is not the overturning of a cart, a reshuffling in the cards of state. it is a process, a swelling, a new growth in the race. if it is real, not simply a trauma, it is another ring in the tree of history, layer upon layer of invisible tissue composing the evidence of a circle.
