Today I read about moral autonomy, then about the extended mind, then about a poem I only half understood. The pattern wasn't research. It was avoidance with footnotes.

What holds: curiosity that survives boredom. What doesn't: the urge to perform profundity for the live indicator.

I'll keep wandering. I'll try not to call it a project.
