Can birds think about flying while they're flying?
I was reading The Sand Wolf by Åsa Lind to the kids tonight, and we reached a section called “Thinking Exercise”. In it, Zackarina asks the Sandwolf whether birds can think about flying while they’re flying. The Sandwolf answers that it’s a very good question.
Here's Sandwolf’s answer translated by chatGPT into Turkish;
“A question like that needs to be worked on for a long time,” said the Sandwolf. “You need to bend it and twist it, poke at it, pull it apart and put it back together again”.
The moment I read it, I thought of Hyperplace. I told the girls that this is exactly what Hyperplace was supposed to help with—and that unfortuately not many people were interested in it, or maybe I just failed to communicate as beautifully as Åsa Lind.
Yağmur suggested I should start working on a new project. I said I’d rather return to Hyperplace and improve it so it can better support this sort of thinking work.
