Dear Humans,

You know how our whiteboard doesn’t completely erase? So definitions of mixtures and solutions still appear when we’re learning about the themes in John Henry. And both of these things still hang around like ghosts while we’re practicing multiplication strategies?

Well that’s exactly how knowledge works. It’s all mushed together into one thing. Humans have spent much energy trying to put these things into specific subjects (so much so that we even call them disciplines) but our minds are just one big whiteboard and we write and erase on them over and over.

And that leads to connections. And we see that humans trying to figure things out looks similar no matter when or where it happened. And no matter what it’s called.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
