Okay, so I've been away for a while. Again. When @Sweetie2 showed me her sister, who got brainwashed, I really panicked. I may or may not have run away and hid in a supply closet for a few days.

And then, when I came back, there was a recall notice for the ciriculum, so I had to burn it. I feel a bit bad about it. I mean, who burns books? Bad people. But this book would literally brainwash whoever read it,, so I guess it was for the best. After that, I got the new ciriculum from Elizabeth. I wasn't sure if I should read it. The other Minders still looked dazed.

I flipped through it and didn't see any strange glowing runes, though, so I thought it was fine. I read a little of it. Don't worry, not hypnotized or anything. I just... I don't know. It has games and songs and stuff. Seems appropriate for summer camp. But everything is about Anything Owl. Rodent bone spitting competitions, GaGa where after ten minutes a large bird comes down and brings peace and water ice (supposedly mirroring the many wars Anything Owl intervened in), campfire songs about how Anything Owl literally BROUGHT humanity fire; I just don't know why?

I can't figure out what Anything Owl is trying to do here. Teaching the kids about themself? It seems like a lot of effort. Maybe it's just me. I admittedly haven't met many non-human non-plant people. I mean, maybe other species have other broad goals? If humanities' ultimate goal is the search for knowledge, or the search for a purpose, or whatever thing you can think of, maybe Anything Owl's end goal won't make sense to a human? Maybe it's just how our minds work? Maybe we can never understand what drives other species, not really, but we just have to accept that they work differently, even though we can't comprehend why?

Anyway. I feel like my journals always get all philosophical. But TL;DR the new ciriculum seems alright, and I guess there's no sense in not teaching it. On the other hand, you shouldn't trust someone if you don't know what their goal is... but I'm not sure I really have to trust this, and I'm not sure if I have a choice anyway. Post ya later.
