yeah

that looks like my instagram account

isaac newton

so the method has to be autonomous

what do you mean

nope. i only remember the leaves bristling behind the window during chemistry class

division of reality is straying away from it

i love it here

yeah

autonomy of learning

i guess imagine a multimedia obsidian or notion that behaves according to some insane arcane rules that you can't ever really determine

propensity within someone

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

i don't really want to be associated with that one for some reason

we can only engage in such a way

was it worth it

okay im going very rogue and very inarticulate

magnetisation/form

It Will Get Lighter

December 2025

this will be about a slug

there is a distinction between western-modern pedagogical systems that's like text-based as in a legal method but there is an idea of "pathshala" or "guru shissho"/ "porompora" i mean how masters relayed knowledge to the student by (oral) transmission often by memorising books. so what was taught was always interactive. knowledge was interactive, you spoke with people rather than read texts.

mazelike/rhizomatic/immanent/emergent are not antithetical to a transcendent real but its very manifestation

i got bored though because i knew all of the different arrangements of it. i probably needed to stick at it longer to get it dense enough to feel navigable in a way that was engaging to me


Slug

it exists in my head in some way that i'm trying to get out i lied on my story a little bit because i'm mostly feeling it and thinking about it. feeling something deeply doesn't necessitate any kind of deep relevance or whatever but the thinking is useful

kind of mythopoesis

ahnaf is it worth reading all those books
