What forms of knowing help us stay with the trouble?

As the NDA are a rhizomatic collective of thinkers, investigators, and visionaries, their purpose was not to solve mysteries in the conventional sense, rather they embarked on a quest to envision possible futures of education. They are real and imaginary.
