ch 9:
this book just keeps making me fall in love with humans
"Jack and his family and friends invented their own alma mater"
"members of these self-constituting groups are particularly alert and responsive to the possibilities for unique, personal contributions from their friends"

re: sticks test: sounds like we're implying that improvisation is intelligence? which is a very pleasing and interesting idea to me

ch 9 graph 1 is so lit theory

got me going "awww :'))" over hands bro

i wonder if this left-right hand division of labor also affects the way we view human labor. like what work is considered important

on variability of handedness... making me think of how when i used to figure skate i preferred spinning to the left... but only for some spins? not all? idk

"perhaps the same is true of" this country...

i can't believe people know and can write this much about hands

"carrying their babies in their left arms, where the sound of the heart would soothe and quiet the infant" WOAH WOAH WOAHH WOAHHHH
