I don't have a grand vision to bring to life, but I do have a fondness for peculiar questions, unexpected connections, and experiments that don't necessarily know where they're going. One thing I'm particularly curious about is what happens between our individual projects. What might we discover in one another's work that we'd never have thought to look for in our own? So here's a question for the room: Has anything unexpected already found its way into your project and changed how you think about it? I'm particularly fond of happy accidents.

@Two Socks oh thats nice. Can you recall what it was that that caused think about it that way? Most people would insist on immediate rewards and the security of momentary success rather than what effects it might have stretching into the deep future. That's a profound shift. Was it something you picked up here? A guided meditation perhaps?

Something that caught my attention was the distinction between pushing toward an outcome and creating conditions in which something unexpected might emerge. I've been exploring the idea that sometimes our most interesting discoveries happen when we stop trying to maximize a particular result and leave a little room for the unexpected. It makes me wonder: How do we recognize an opportunity we weren't looking for? And perhaps more interestingly, how do we avoid overlooking it simply because it doesn't resemble what we originally set out to accomplish?

Funny thing is i dont really have many memories of being a kid. I do remember hiding. I guess we have that. Plus apparently i was so into reading i read the telephone book. Ultimately i was granted the world book encyclopedia 😁
