notes:

  • skill, without the context of a problem to solve or a message to communicate, means nothing.
  • discussed differences between original thought and original idea, which weren’t clear to me — so i emailed sharon & patrick asking for them.
  • discussed pointers for agreeing upon a way of working in groups, through activities that i didn’t think brought out the best answers.
  • took turns reading red’s slides, and it anchored us to the weight of the program. that was powerful. i read the following line:

the machine itself makes no demands and holds out no promises. it is the human spirit that makes demands and keeps promises.

by lewis mumford.

it felt like red spoke to me, posthumously. or perhaps i have an inflated sense of self.

either way, i still consider it a moment of magic.
