The NeuraPump MBA BrainGPT Case Study Anthem
Subject:
The Ritualization of Passive Memory, Professor-Centered Airspace as Cognitive Chokehold, Academic Grading as Institutionalized Shame, The Legal Psychology of Output Suppression, and the Dawn of the Output-Led Learning Reformation.
Summary:
A Broadway × Cognitive Satire × Educational Verdict Anthem,
You’re Not Fired Yet (But Your Professor Should Be) is not just a protest song.
It is a generational summons.
It is not a critique of ineffective professors—it is an exposé of centuries-old pedagogical malpractice, dressed as prestige.
Here, lecture is not instruction—it is deliberate suppression.
The grading curve is not meritocracy—it is sanctioned despair.
Professors don’t facilitate—they monopolize the bandwidth of cognition and shame.
This is not just a song—it’s a public trial, a choral deposition, a NeuraPump class-action for memory, justice, and self-expression.
Prologue: The Classroom Trial
"You're not dropped out — you're dropped in. The show has just begun."
The curtain rises on a court, not a class.
Every “Welcome” is a verdict.
The professor presides as judge,
Students file in as voiceless defendants.
Act I: The Lecture Lie
Professors know lectures leave 5% in memory.
They persist anyway—because it protects their script, not your brain.
Genius minds become silent scribes, blamed for what no one remembers.
Act II: Academic Shame and Curve Crimes
The curve is not a standard—it’s a sentence.
No matter how well you learn, many must “fail.”
This is not education.
It’s trauma engineered through mathematical quotas, institutionalizing inferiority.
Act III: Professor Monopoly—Mic as Gavel
For hours, one voice drowns all.
“Five percent knowledge, ninety-five percent air.”
Pauses become “shame,” questions become “disruptions.”
Input is measured; output is ignored.
Act IV: The NeuraPump Rebellion
Enter the output class—singing, composing, recalling, rebuilding.
18 songs a day, six rehearsals each, memory as muscle, expression as right.
Each child: a sovereign neuron in a living choir.
The class becomes a nation.
Recall becomes revolution.
Finale: The Trial of Education
This is not a graduation—it is an emancipation.
NeuraPump is not an alternative—it is cognitive liberation.
No more silence.
The children rise in chorus, rewriting the verdict—
From “you’re not fired” to “your era is over.”
Lecture = Engineered Memory Starvation
Grading Curve = Institutionalized Relative Failure
Professor Mic Monopoly = Cognitive Airspace Suppression
Shame Loop = Recurring Identity Erosion
Passive Learning = Mnemonic Atrophy
Output Training = Memory Sovereignty
Testing Effect × Generation Effect = Neural Emancipation
Performance-Based Learning = Pedagogical Justice
NeuraPump = Song as Synaptic Liberation
Cold Call Carnage = Ritualized Exposure Therapy
REM Sleep Recall = Structural Memory Integration
Over 18 Cognitive and Educational Laws systematically violated
Passive learning and professor centralization dissected as historical crimes
100+ NeuraPump-style micro-anthems per performance
Apple v. Academia Metaphor: Consumer recall vs. student helplessness
Classroom Silence as institutionalized gaslighting
NeuraPump as the first open-source memory justice system
Every chorus: dozens of memory hooks, confidence triggers, and identity pivots
Designed for Recall → Rebellion → Re-architecture
From shame to song, from compliance to command
Alumni seeking to reclaim the dignity Harvard’s silence eroded
Parents who paid $60,000 for a syllabus of shame
Students who want to learn by output, not obedience
Educators ready to trade lecture for performance, shame for sovereignty
Legal and cognitive scholars championing memory as a civil right
18 educational law violations × 4 minutes = 1 cognitive verdict
350+ lyrics optimized for memory, irony, and recall
Post-NeuraPump retention: 90% after 3 rehearsals
Sing-back activation: 2–4 listens to subconscious uprising
Projected global sing-along (2030): 500 million students
Cognitive trauma defused every 12 seconds by chorus participation
NeuraJustice spread rate: 90% in 40+ nations via karaoke/meme cycles
This is not a song.
It’s a summons to the trial of learning.
Not a chorus—but a case file.
Not a melody—but a memory revolution.
It’s a requiem for every silenced voice,
and a fight song for every child reclaiming their mind.
🧠⚖️📣🎤
Harvard taught with silence.
NeuraPump teaches in song.
And the verdict will echo—forever.
You’re Not Fired Yet (But Your Professor Should Be) - NeuraPump MBA BrainGPT Case Study
Genre: Broadway Satire × Cognitive Gospel × NeuraMusical Output March
“You're not dropped out — you're dropped in. The show has just begun.”
▶ “You're not dropped out — you're dropped in. The show has just begun.”
[Verse 1 – The Lecture Lie]
They told you to listen, not to speak.
Then blamed your silence for being weak.
The curve was drawn before you wrote.
Now your C is tenure’s vote.
They test your input, not your say.
But memory grows by what we convey.
Passive seats don’t form deep tracks.
Recall’s built when knowledge talks back. 🔥📉
[Verse 2 – Professor Monopoly]
He quotes dead Greeks like gospel chants.
But forgets retrieval makes you advance.
He floods the room with structured fog,
Then hides behind a grading log.
Cognitive load: maxed by fluff.
Five percent truth, the rest is bluff.
When you pause, he calls it shame—
While robbing your shot to enter the game. 🎭💣
[Chorus – Rise of the Output Class]
We don’t memorize. We compose.
We generate. That’s how it grows.
The generation effect lights the brain—
Each sung line, a learning gain.
We sing 18 songs, six times each day.
And test ourselves the NeuraPump way.
While dusty scripts stack on your desk,
We build recall that’s picturesque. 🧠🎤
[Verse 3 – Grading Curve Massacre]
They grade your nerves, not your depth.
Your grades distort your learning’s breadth.
The bell curve punishes those who try,
And still calls losers those who apply.
They stamp “fair” on a broken scale,
And preach to fail while students wail.
Rubrics mask the damage done.
But crushed recall can't be undone. 💸⚰️
[Bridge – Enter Bian the First]
Unify the scale. Reset the norms.
Torch the scripts and storm the forms.
If Qin burned books to unify signs,
We burn the silence between the lines.
Each child sings with sovereign might,
Each output line a mental flight.
We don’t record — we redesign.
From score-based chains to memory spine. 👑🧨
[Rap Break – Cold Call Carnage]
Cold Call hits — professors freeze.
While we’ve rehearsed with cognitive ease.
Freestyle isn’t chaos, it’s depth on cue—
It’s retrieval practice breaking through.
The faster you fire, the deeper the roots,
Neural networks loop in feedback suits.
We don’t recite, we reinvent,
While their cold silence hides consent. ✒️🩸
[Verse 4 – Dream Infrastructure]
Ten days. Three thousand words rehearsed.
Recalled in dreams, no longer coerced.
In REM they rise, consolidate.
And build long-term paths to integrate.
You underline. We encode.
Neura highways offload the load.
Sleep strengthens what we rehearse,
Our brains don’t need to reimburse. 🌙🚀
[Final Chorus – Founders, Not Followers]
We’re not fired — we’re building thrones.
Each song a scaffold, set in bones.
We rule through rhythm, not by ranks.
Not by GPA, but memory banks.
Our voice is logic, tone is law.
Each output act rewrites the flaw.
We don’t revise — we recompose.
And sing the end of lecture prose. 💥🏛️
[Outro – The Neural Nation Awakens]
This ain’t rebellion. It’s recall.
We don’t drop out — we stand, we brawl.
Testing isn’t trauma, it’s training sharp.
Each song embeds like a neural harp.
You’re not fired yet, we won’t pretend.
But history knows where curves must end.
So roll your rubric, close that hall—
Output built us. We’ll lay fair. 📚🔥
From Principal Maverick of Hanlin Institute
Subject:
“It’s Not You. It’s the System. Now Rise.”
Dear students of Harvard,
You are not broken.
You are not lazy.
You are not "not good enough."
You are caught in a system that knows better—and still chooses worse.
For over 50 years, cognitive science has proven that:
Lecturing is the least effective way to learn.
Passive input without active output leads to memory loss.
The highest retention comes from doing, discussing, and teaching others.
And yet, at the very institution that claims to be the peak of knowledge,
you sit through three-hour lectures with no output, no voice, no stage.
This is not tradition.
This is negligence.
They tell you: “Only a few of you can get an A.”
Even if all of you master the material, you’re not allowed to succeed together.
Why?
Because the curve isn’t about learning—it’s about sorting.
They built the system to produce failure,
then blamed you for failing.
That’s not education.
That’s structural gaslighting.
This is the part you must hear with clarity:
Most of your professors are fully aware that:
5% retention from lecturing is disastrous.
Ranking by curves distorts learning motivation.
Students need to speak, create, and teach to truly learn.
And yet they:
Monopolize the mic.
Crush participation.
Grade you down when you don’t conform to silence.
This is not ignorance.
This is institutional malpractice.
And in any other industry—this would be a lawsuit.
If 90% of iPhones failed, Apple would face global recalls and stock collapse.
But when 90% of students struggle or burn out, Harvard blames the students.
Imagine Apple shipping a broken device, then saying: “Well, maybe you just didn’t use it right.”
Would you still call that leadership—or call your lawyer?
You deserve:
A classroom where you teach as much as you’re taught.
A curriculum that builds your voice, not erases it.
An education that measures ideas—not obedience.
You are not a grade.
You are not a number.
You are a mind in motion—and you were born to speak.
Demand the mic.
Ask for dialogue, not download.
Challenge the default lecture—politely, but powerfully.
Dismantle the grading curve.
A curve that forces failure is a psychological weapon. Refuse it.
Build learning communities where students teach each other.
Start NeuraPump learning cells—5 students, 5 topics, 5 performances.
Know your legal and ethical rights.
If your education consistently fails cognitive standards,
you may have the grounds to demand restitution.
At Hanlin, we have trained five-year-olds to learn at doctoral levels—
not because they are smarter,
but because the system let them sing, speak, teach, and perform.
You have far more capacity than they do—
but far less permission.
That ends now.
You are not the problem.
You are the proof the system has failed.
You are not here to be ranked.
You are here to rebuild how learning works.
Let this be the decade Harvard students broke the cycle—
and rewrote the rules for the next billion learners.
Mic off. Minds on. Let learning begin.
With respect and revolution,

Subject:
“You Paid for the Best—But They Gave You the Oldest. Now Let’s Talk.”
Dear Parents,
First, I want to honor you.
You have given everything—time, wealth, love, sacrifice—
to send your child to what the world calls “the best school on Earth.”
You have believed, with aching sincerity, that Harvard is where dreams begin.
But I write to you today with difficult news:
Harvard is still using a teaching model that was outdated before your child was born.
You paid $60,000–$80,000 per year, hoping your child would:
Be challenged to think independently
Be mentored by the greatest minds
Be trained to speak, lead, write, create
What they received was:
Lectures.
More lectures.
PowerPoint slides.
Grading curves.
Silence.
Cognitive science is undisputed on this point:
Learning Mode
Average Retention
Listening to lectures
5%
Reading textbooks
10%
Teaching others
90%
Harvard continues to use the least effective method,
while blaming your child when they struggle.
This is not just inefficient.
It is psychologically destructive.
Yes, your child may get the degree.
But what else might they get?
Burnout.
Anxiety.
Fear of speaking.
Lost creativity.
Emotional trauma from grading curves.
A shrinking sense of self-worth—in a classroom designed to suppress expression.
If Apple sold 90% defective iPhones, they’d face:
Public outrage
Legal action
Massive recalls
But when Harvard delivers an obsolete education system,
it calls it “tradition.”
And it charges you a luxury price for it.
This is not acceptable.
And if it happened in any other business,
you would have sued by now.
Most Harvard professors are not malicious.
But they are guilty of something else:
Knowing that lectures don’t work, and doing them anyway.
They do it because it’s easier for them.
Not better for your child.
That, in education, is negligence.
In medicine, it would be malpractice.
And for the future of your family—it is betrayal.
The curve ensures that:
Even if every student works hard, many will “fail.”
Competition replaces collaboration.
Silence becomes safety.
Performance anxiety overshadows real growth.
This is not meritocracy.
It is mathematical humiliation.
At Hanlin, we teach through:
Songs.
Discussion.
Performance.
Teaching others.
Rhythmic memory training.
Emotional engagement.
Radical respect for the child’s voice.
That’s why 5-year-olds can outperform 18-year-olds in long-term memory and articulation—
not because they are more talented,
but because they are finally taught the right way.
You are not wrong for loving Harvard.
You are wronged by a system that took your trust—and did not update its method.
Your child deserves:
A voice.
A stage.
A system that builds, not breaks.
And you deserve to see your investment result in joy, not just a diploma.
Let Harvard be humbled.
Let your family be free.
Let the future be built on expression, not oppression.
With utmost respect and revolutionary intent,

Subject: “The Time to Reform Is Now — Before the Institution You Love Is No Longer Worth Defending.”
Dear Alumni of Harvard,
I write to you not as a rival,
but as someone who once admired the institution you represent—
and who now fears for its future.
You remember the speeches, the prestige, the crimson robes.
You remember how it felt to say: “I went to Harvard.”
But do you know what current students now say?
“We’re ranked, not raised.”
“I go to Harvard... and I’m afraid to speak.”
“We’re graded on curves designed to humiliate.”
“My professor talks for 90 minutes straight. I haven’t spoken in weeks.”
“I’m smart, but I feel small here.”
Cognitive science is not ambiguous.
It is overwhelmingly clear:
Method
Average Retention
Lecture
5%
Passive Reading
10%
Group Discussion
50%
Teaching Others
90%
Harvard knows this.
And yet most classrooms are still dominated by one voice—
the professor’s.
This is not education.
It is long-term cognitive suppression.
Students are silenced.
Grading curves manufacture failure.
The best minds are told they’re “not enough.”
Creativity is lost.
Confidence is dismantled.
If this were happening in the tech industry, it would be called out as abuse.
If it were in medicine, it would be medical malpractice.
But in academia, it’s still called “tradition.”
How long can that last?
Imagine a generation of students testifying:
“I was emotionally harmed in a learning system that knew it was ineffective.”
Imagine whistleblowers revealing emails:
“We know lectures don’t work, but they’re easier.”
Imagine global headlines:
“Harvard Faces Collective Lawsuit for Decades of Learning Suppression.”
You think this is far off. It’s closer than you realize.
You are the guardians of the brand.
You are the living proof that Harvard could produce greatness.
But if you stay silent while:
Professors monopolize the mic,
Students suffer quietly,
Grading curves warp young minds,
And outdated methods continue,
Then you are not defending Harvard—you are abandoning it.
Demand that Harvard:
End lecture-dominant teaching.
Replace with flipped classrooms, peer teaching, and expressive formats.
Abolish or reform the grading curve.
Assess mastery, not relative defeat.
Integrate cognitive neuroscience into pedagogy.
Train faculty in how memory, emotion, and learning actually work.
Empower student voices.
Every student should speak more than the professor, not less.
You can either say:
“I helped Harvard evolve before the world turned on it.”
Or:
“I stayed proud while students suffered—and I said nothing.”
Choose legacy over loyalty.
Choose truth over tradition.
Choose to act—before the institution you love becomes the very scandal you hoped it would never be.
With deep respect and unwavering urgency,

Dear Tiger Mama,
You’ve done what most would not.
You woke up before sunrise,
You memorized the calendar of tests more proficient than your own birthday,
You withheld comfort when it could've dulled discipline,
And in your silence, there was a love the world often misunderstands:
the love that fights.
But now I bring you a message—not to tell you you were wrong—
but to show you that there is a better tool for the future you’ve always wanted.
Your child is not empty.
They are overfilled—with anxiety, with pressure, with expectation.
What they lack is not knowledge.
What they lack is voice.
And at Hanlin Institute, after over 3000 NeuraPump cognitive songs built from
🧠 MBA frameworks,
🧪 MCAT knowledge,
📚 Humanities depth,
🎓 And procedural memory science…
We can now say with certainty:
If a child sings 3 hours a day, using our structured 3000-song NeuraPump protocol,
repeating each song 60 times—
they will graduate cognitively before they finish high school.
And not just in one subject.
But in five full academic domains.
No more threatening.
No more scolding.
No more tears over a missed worksheet or a forgotten assignment.
Instead:
Ask: “Which nine songs today?”
Check: “How many reps this week?”
Listen: “Can you sing it for me?”
Because when they sing, they’re not wasting time.
They’re building circuits.
They’re loading college-level knowledge into long-term storage.
They’re training their tongue to become a memory processor.
They’re becoming elite—on your watch, under your rhythm.
You're training their BrainGPT LLM, just as powerful as ChatGPT...
You are no longer just a mother.
You are a cognitive architect’s supervisor.
You are your child’s daily M-Flux activation coach.
If you can ensure three hours of NeuraPump rehearsal per day—
That’s it.
Your child will never be left behind.
Your child will never burn out silently.
Your child will never have to choose between happiness and excellence.
Because in this system,
output creates both.
This Is the Beginning of Remembering.
You’ve done enough yelling for a lifetime.
Now it's time for the song to speak.
Let your child sing.
And let their voice become the legacy you always dreamed of.
With full belief in your power,
With scientific proof in every chorus,
And with deepest respect for the fire you carry,

🎤 “A tiger’s roar may echo in fear.
But a cub’s song will echo through time.”
Let them sing.
And just supervise.
Here is the full English version of the letter from Principla Maverick of Hanlin Institute, addressed to the world’s “M-Flux Output Kids.” It is written as a manifesto, a call to destiny, and a blueprint for cognitive reversal.
This is not inspiration.
This is a system override.
Dear M-Flux Output Kids,
You might be the one in the spotlight during the school musical—
but missing homework deadlines.
The one who delivers a 6-minute economics rant on stage—
but scores below average on a multiple-choice test.
The one who freestyles Shakespeare but gets scolded for "not focusing."
Let me say this clearly:
You are not behind. You are ahead of your time.
The system didn’t fail you by accident. It was never built for you.
Each one is a ladder to your throne.
These are not karaoke fillers. These are:
Entire university courses embedded in melody
Long-term memory capsules wrapped in rhythm
Emotionally charged pathways for cognitive retention
Stage scripts for your brain's operating system
Delivered in the only language the brain truly listens to: M-Flux Output.
Sing more, remember more.
Perform harder, learn deeper.
Forget worksheets—teach your peers through a hook.
Forget textbooks—freestyle the periodic table.
Every lyric you rehearse is a leadership simulation.
Every cold stage you conquer is a TED Talk in disguise.
Every laugh you earn is a neurolinguistic data point.
You were never “off track.”
You were running a race they didn’t understand.
Your title will be:
CEO of a public company
Founder of the next Neural Operating System
Lead designer of an AI-enhanced global classroom
Minister of Education. President. Chancellor.
Visionary behind the next Tesla or GPT
Nobel Laureate in Memory Engineering
You will not be remembered for fitting in.
You will be remembered for rewriting the rubric.
In 15 years, we will elevate every “too expressive to test well” child—
and build them a knowledge kingdom through song.
We will:
Transform stage hours into GPA multipliers
Convert rehearsals into AP credits
Measure memory not by silence, but by sound
And train your generation of Glee Kids
to outperform the smartest spreadsheet robot MIT ever built
❌ No more ten-year performers denied AP courses.
❌ No more “quiet = smart” in a world ruled by expression.
Instead:
The one who sang Catalytic Kitchen Chaos becomes a biotech entrepreneur
The one who danced through Liquidity Trap: The Musical leads a hedge fund
The one who wrote Subconscious Rehearsal Theory at 11 becomes the youngest AI minister in the UN
You are not performers.
You are infrastructure.
This is realignment.
You are not going to "make it someday."
You’re building a cognitive engine right now.
Put on your headphones.
Cue your first NeuraPump song.
Because history starts singing through you.
With all faith in your brilliance,
For the kingdom of expressive cognition,

Subject: You Never Quit — So I Got to Reign
Dear Cub,
Dear Mama,
I’m writing this not with nostalgia, but with awe.
Because 30 years later—I still remember every word we sang.
Not as a memory, but as instinct.
Not in silence, but in echo.
Cub—do you remember those nights when you didn’t want to rehearse the 18th song?
When the lyrics blurred, and your voice cracked, and your body slumped like the day had won?
You wanted rest.
But Tiger Mama said,
“Six hours a day. No less. Sixty times per song. Then it’s yours forever.”
You didn’t quit.
And that changed everything.
Mama—do you remember the looks people gave you?
“How cruel,” they whispered.
“Let the boy be a child.”
They couldn’t see the childhood you were saving—from forgettable mediocrity.
You gave me not comfort, but cognition.
Not leisure, but legacy.
Today, I am not a CEO.
I am a civilization architect.
I speak in eight languages—five human, three computational.
My voice fills stadiums. My fingers sign constitutions.
They call me “the boy who sang his way to the stars.”
But I know the truth.
I didn’t sing my way forward.
I sang backward—into the capsule.
You built it, Cub.
You protected it, Mama.
And now it opens every time I speak.
Every time I negotiate at the UN,
Every time I launch a biotech empire,
Every time I soothe a nation with a phrase—
It’s not talent.
It’s your system.
It's M-Flux.
So Cub, keep dancing when the floor feels cold.
Keep singing when the note feels wrong.
Keep outputting when no one's watching.
Because one day, thirty years from now, you will open your mouth…
And the whole sky will remember.
Mama,
You didn’t raise a child.
You forged a constellation.
And the world now orbits what you never gave up on.
With all the power your love encoded,
Forever your son,
Maverick, the Output King

Title: The Open-Source Flashmob Manifesto: A Cognitive Theater Revolution
Subtitle: How a Single Lyric Opera Can Turn Every Public Space Into a Stage for Thought
1. The Age of Passive Learning Is Over
The ivory towers have long dictated who speaks, who listens, and who dares to ask questions. In the era of NeuraPump, every child, every traveler, every street artist becomes not just a participant, but a playwright of cognition.
You don’t need permission to perform. You need a voice and a verse.
With open-access lyrics, no paywall, and Creative Commons-grade liberation, NeuraPump's cognitive lyric operas are not entertainment. They are educational ammunition, waiting to explode in airports, schools, cafes, and playgrounds.
2. Structure Is the Superpower
Each NeuraPump lyricscript is structured with:
Role-ready stanzas – anyone can pick a line and become a voice of satire, reason, or revolution.
Multi-character drama – ideal for 3-person garage shows or 50-person school rallies.
Mnemonic hooks – designed to implant memory through rhythm, rhyme, and visual metaphor.
Topic fusion – MBA cases, AI ethics, cognitive science, economic injustice, and poetic rebellion all woven into each beat.
This isn’t karaoke. This is cognitive choreography.
3. TikTok Is the New Broadway
Theater no longer needs velvet curtains and thousand-dollar tickets. It needs 15 seconds of rhythm, character, and hook.
Every NeuraPump song contains 10+ viral punchlines.
Split into parts, each singer becomes a TikTok reel.
Add costume ("Ivory Tower Professor", "Toothpaste CEO"), instant meme.
One performance, one video, 10 million views? Not a dream.
4. Tiger Moms Will Fund the Revolution
NeuraPump is not a hobby. It’s a cognitive ROI machine.
Why spend $5,000 for a solo violin recital at Carnegie Hall when your child can headline a 12-role Flashmob with real social commentary?
Tiger moms don’t fear the stage. They fear irrelevance.
And this? This is relevant, raw, real, and repeatable.
5. You Choose the Cast. You Choose the Space. You Light the Match.
Grab a lyricscript.
Assign roles.
Rehearse in a living room.
Perform in a Starbucks.
Upload to TikTok.
Every mall becomes a mind gym.
Every train station becomes a think tank.
Every airport becomes a TED stage.
6. This Is Not Just Art. This Is Infrastructure.
NeuraPump lyrics are:
Legally clean (open-source, educational fair use)
Emotionally viral (humor, outrage, empathy, satire)
Structurally modular (1-person version, 5-role version, flash choir version)
Politically subversive (but poetic enough to survive censorship)
7. Bonus Track: The Professor Who Forgot the Class 🎤
Opening Chorus:
"They came for chem, he came for fame,
A thousand slides, not one with name.
Forgot the goal, but loved the mic,
Gave memoirs when they asked for spikes."
Verse 1:
"He told of grants from '92,
Of dinners with the Nobel crew.
He flashed old books, he name-dropped well,
But what is pH? He wouldn't tell."
Verse 2:
"Midterms loomed, confusion grew,
His stories old, his slides askew.
The syllabus a fading ghost,
While fame and ego fed the host."
Bridge:
"A TA wept, the class complained,
The lab was lost, but clout was gained.
'We needed base, he gave us gloss—
Another lecture, total loss.'"
Outro (Repeat Chorus with Crowd):
"They came for chem, he came for fame,
The class remembers not his name.
And on the grade, a question stands:
'Was this a course or ego's lands?'"
8. Flashmob Blueprint: Harvard vs. Intel — The Ivory Tower Toothpaste Tango
