Two stories, one room deep, finished by the boys who arrived to live in it; the classroom of the inward turn
This is Jonathan Hare's account, with its provenance shown. The person or organization named has not yet claimed or corrected it.
The cabin Milton Jonathan Hare built on the Smith River, outside Crescent City, was two stories and one room deep, and its top floor had a clear plastic roof — zero insulation, chosen deliberately, because seeing the stars mattered more than keeping the heat. The boys helped finish it, slept under that roof almost every night, learned astral projection there, and were homeschooled in it by talking for hours. The full account is the episode The roof we built for the stars; the argument it seeded is the essay's.
