Introduction

Howard: We are going to be spending the next several weeks talking about tension. The types of tension that I am identifying as I'm attempting to build this toolbox are anticipation, juxtaposition, unanswered questions, conflict, and then micro-attention. Dong Won: It really solidified for me while I was watching Ted Lasso. All of the conflict comes from this anticipation of something that you think is going to go wrong.
