Afterword to Through the Looking-Glass
I love this story from a memorable trip. Jose and I remember it frequently. We talked again about it days ago and I decided to write it down.
I hope I did some justice to the story, given that I’ve been in India 🇮🇳 all week long and could only draft and assemble during the weekend.
My first time in India has given me raw material for a good number of other posts too, so my backlog is boiling now 🔥.
The post has a good deal of questions in it, and I wanted to single them out from the text, without being strident. I ended, half convinced, with what you’ve seen.
As questions may become—just like emojis 👋—my next obsession, I might as well develop a more interesting display for them.
Questions are a powerful feature that I don’t use effectively enough. I’ve been thinking about the value of questions after reading Sprint from the Google Ventures team. Questions are an essential tool to re-frame the mind around a certain topic. A little jedi mind-trick for shifting perspective. A powerful tool to drive mental energy.
Tiago Forte wrote about the power of questions to amplify thinking in a recent post, referring to no other but Richard Feynman, the hero from my previous post as a master of this resource.
Questions deserve, in short, more careful attention.
Four posts into this stage and I start to need an index of posts. Remembering their name is more complex than it seems and using the laberynthic links from one to the next is cumbersome. Seems like one more item into the backlog… MVP coming soon.
And that was it for this week, hoping to see you around next one.
Cheers ✌️!
