Can I do that? Can that be something that you can learn? How did questions function differently between Eastern versus Western intellectual traditions? What role do you think embodied questions those we explore through doing rather than thinking play in developing wisdom? What's on the other side of the hill? What happens if you go to the end? What's the origin of this? How should one think about the exploratory in one's life? Is there anything that you would add to your list of 15 statements that define what makes a quality question? Is there a qualitative difference between the questions humans are asking and the questions our AI systems are beginning to formulate? What do you think would help them get there? Any idea on a forcing function on how we get them [LLMs] to ask the better questions so that they might improve in that direction? What were some novel questions that broke your brain at the time in thinking about this 10,000-year clock or beyond? What's it good for? What would you use it for? What else could you do over the long term for 10,000 years? How do you transmit values over time? How do you evolve values that need to change, and how do you make a difference? How do even know what you don't want to change? What do you want to continue? What's the most essential aspects of our civilization that we don't want to go away? What are the rules? What is the system? How do you pass things along in time and not change the ones you don't wanna change, and make sure you change the ones that are more adaptable so they can adapt? What do you think about questioning itself as an art form? How has being a photographer influenced the way you question reality, visually compared to verbally? Are you a photographer that takes photos or makes photos? What will happen? What will happen next? What are your right now questions that you are wrestling with or working with in your life? Can someone else do what I'm trying to do here? Am I more me in doing my art or more me in doing the writing? Do you have any other thoughts or encouragement about questions that we haven't explored? What makes a good question? How do you ask a good question? What questions do you dwell on to be in purposeful imbalance? What is your practice in embracing the inefficient nature of questions to achieve breakthroughs? What are the new hills you can build and frontiers you can explore? How can you use your curiosity and humanity to pursue questions that trend toward the fringes?…

Haven't decided on a name for these types of episodes. But sometimes we just want to catch up with one another and have a chat. We always get off topic when we have stories to tell. So we are going to let ourselves wander and see where the conversation goes. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tinymorbidfantasies/support…

Yeaahhhhhhhhhh. So we have been just living the quarantine dream of trying to stay healthy, safe, and sane. We are thinking about the podcast at all times but because of the state of the world, it's been tough to get together and record. Sorry in advance for the audio issues. We recorded over Zoom and there are background noises and audio levels going in and out. But thanks for joining us and stay tuned for more stories. We are still going to be creating and be ready to go when restrictions are lifted. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tinymorbidfantasies/support…
