She says something that isn't really right but isn't really wrong. I'm not taking in their words any more, just their voices, trying to get a feel for whatever is going on between them. I'm imagining what it's like for them in this delicate situation, what I would say if it were me. She has that perfect upper-class accent, and she's using whatever upper-class tact that comes with it to navigate this. Style. They can't be together, but their voices are betraying them.

She closes the window. I wasn't paying attention anyway, I'm getting cold, and the birds are nowhere to be seen. I go inside.

barren land

One of the birds shoots out of the tree.

this is possible in mazelike research sprints on the internet

its performative

like people can read 100 books and still not have the fire within them

so the method has to be autonomous

whats your name?

autonomy of learning

isaac

think this is much more rhizomatic or immanent or mazelike than mainstream education now

I wonder if the birds knew I was watching?
