“How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress” – Niels Bohr


In this episode, we answer a question from friend of the pod, Brian: "Have you discussed that bit about being intentionally confused before? I am intrigued."


We talk about why you might want to trigger intentional confusion (aporia) and what the risks can be.


And we talk about how to trigger intentional confusion by zooming in or out – to get more specific or more abstract. And also by collectively making predictions to generate error signals that we can't ignore.

“Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context – a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.” ― Eliel Saarinen
