Welcome to ANI in the Air, talk about Tuesday where I talk about something related to sub-baria.
0:06
So this week I'm doing cicadas and this is going to be a rough one.
0:11
Okay, cicadas, Sudbury School, what am I going to come up with?
0:15
Now, there's one idea as a metaphor, it's a terrible idea, but you know the idea is cicadas are just hanging around on the ground, doing their thing for 17 years.
0:28
And then boom, they're just ready, they come out, they pop out and BAM, they go flying away man, flying away.
0:34
It's kind of a bad metaphor though because they're kind of slow and you know, they don't live very long so it really breaks down quite quickly.
0:46
But you know the idea that the thing that you're kind of looking at doesn't look like anything like the thing that they end up being, you know, that can be something useful.
0:55
Like you know, when someone's seven they don't need to be doing the things that adults are doing, they just don't.
1:03
They need to be doing the things that they're feeling compelled to do.
1:06
Which is generally trying to figure out how the world works, how they work, how each other works, you know, talking and doing a lot of physical activity.
1:21
And so forth.
1:27
So that's one idea.
1:30
Another idea is what would the Sudbury kids do when the cicadas come out?
1:34
So you got a bunch of like weird creatures roaming around in the field that haven't seen it before.
1:43
And you know, how are they going to, what are they going to do with it?
1:49
So yeah, they could, you know, examine them, see what's going on, that kind of stuff.
2:01
We're going to have a lot of noise going on so we'll see how they, how that gets reacted in terms of the field usage.
2:10
And I don't know, it's a big question as to just how cicadas will impact us.
2:19
I have no idea.
2:21
First time and I guess we'll see.
2:25
I'm really kind of nervous about the noise, quite frankly.
2:29
But yeah, I'm actually predicting some of them. I think about trying to name some, create some stories with them, you know, have a lot of fun without actually arming them.
2:41
There's also the question of the chickens. I don't know what the chickens do with cicadas.
2:46
Do they eat them? Do they run away from them? I don't really know.
2:51
Guess we'll find out. Chickens are strange sometimes.
2:55
All right. Well, I think that's actually all I have to say. So it's a very short talk about Tuesday, huh?
3:03
Cicadas, they're coming, they're coming for a Sudbury student near you.
3:10
Yeah, I guess we'll see what happens.
