I mean, anyone who's ever taken Prof. George Lakoff's classes at UC Berkeley is familiar with his famous "Don't think of an elephant" lecture. He tells his students not to think about an elephant, then goes on to describe an elephant in agonizing detail, but under no circumstances are you permitted to picture that elephant in your mind.

I cant even get trough your text without picturing the whole classroom including the elephants in everyones mind.

I am not sure what the idea is but if i was given this assignment i conclude 3 possibilities.

  • the point is that its impossible so i can just give up and laugh at the spectacle.

  • i should grab for my headphones, close my eyes and focus my mind to some place far away

  • run out of the classroom and do something that requires concentration. Random conversation with someone.
