@Malcolm_Ocean I just discovered the superb @ribbonfarm post of yours on the art of asking & holding questions. Curious if you've kept hold of these meta-questions yourself? Or maybe thought about ways these concepts could be taught?https://www.evernote.com/l/AAexWWcVYbdLY6JquTwl6ewoPcfwgPwzpgY …

Mmm, the first thing that comes to mind as I read your highlighted version is around this not-knowing piece. Definitely feels related to Iain McGilchrist's model of the brain hemispheres and how the left can't handle not-knowing while the right naturally does.

And this then makes me question my choice of the metaphor of "hold your questions". Because holding onto things is very much a left-hemisphere thing (grasping tools) whereas I think a lot of the thrust of the post is trying to point at right-hemisphere thinking.

Ahaha and then the Question your Qs section is consciously deploying left-hemisphere thinking. But be careful b/c the LHem will tend to err thusly: > Of course, make sure that when you do answer Q’, don’t mistake your answer for a full answer to the original question Q, however.

This section is making me think of something I've done recently. When people want to hear more about the culture-change project I'm in, I first ask them "what questions are you holding that you think we might have or *be* an answer to?"pic.twitter.com/UHzVyW9m7s

Anyway! I just reached the end of your highlighted copy of the article, and I'm looking back at your tweet... and I'm not actually sure what you're asking there! You can say more things and then maybe I'll say more things.

So I guess the 2-part question that I'm holding is along the lines of: 1/ 'How can we convince left-brain humans to take their curiosity more seriously' 2/ 'What might a
#questionhack workshop or an effective 'question training' look like?https://twitter.com/jonnym1ller/status/1111173314884435968 …Jonny Miller 🐬 added,
Jonny Miller 🐬 @jonnym1ller7 // Very interested to hear more thoughts / opinions on this: What might a#questionhack look like? What frameworks have you come across? What forms could better questioning take in your life? How might we encourage ambitious type-A humans to take their curiosity more seriously?Show this thread2 replies 0 retweets 1 like
Various thoughts. A major obstacle for many people, I suspect, is "school trauma." We spent 12-16 years being trained to answer questions instead of asking them and that clearly had an effect; moreover our ability to do so was closely tied to our worth.

I am completely with you on this* (it was for me!) one of the driving questions behind my 'Curious Humans' project is looking at how we lose our innate questioning drive (and how to reclaim it) (*not to mention epi-genetic trauma that many of us carry from previous generations)
