Episode notes
Curiosity Drives Problem Solving
- Curious people solve problems and invent solutions while the non-curious drift through life unchanged.
- Adam frames curiosity as the driver of progress and practical problem-solving.
Fix The Root Cause First
- Misidentifying root causes blocks effective solutions and worsens problems over time.
- Adam uses the termite/seagull metaphor to show how focus on the wrong cause prevents real fixes.
Homelessness Numbers Grew Dramatically
- Adam contrasts 12 years ago's 20,000 homeless in California with today's 150,000 to illustrate policy failure.
- He blames misdirected priorities rather than acknowledging drug and mental-health drivers.
