want to build better tools for kids/adults who don't like schools but would love to learn *everything*.
you can't expect any intelligence to be totally obedient.
imagining a few small gestures to edit/write with ai:
word: spin synonyms
sentence: shift the tone (cold <-> warm)
paragraph: shorten/expand

making each neuron in the hopfield network a bird: store a memory and the flock splits/coalesces based on their weight matrix.
memory = murmury.

no neuron has the whole picture. the memory is distributed across every neuron’s connections.

- things are never what they look like
- things will *always* go wrong
- what you find is never what you sought - but you would like it
- the world / fate will help you, eventually
