    I'll be in a silent meditation retreat until Feb 10th. I've programmed a bot to ask questions until I get back. Instead of answering the questions, I challenge you to find the hidden assumption in the questions and then retweet it with a question of your own. No answers!

  14. Last reminder to join the challenge for the next ten days. I'm headed deep into the Oaxacan mountains now. My posts will now be meditated by bots. I would really like to see all of the answers and statements on Twitter turn into a giant viral recursive loop of questions on return

  15. Managed to find a Zouk instructor in Mexico City for a class in my short time there (now I'm on a bus deep into the Oaxacan mountains). Last time I took this bus there was no chance of internet on a phone! Things are changing fast. Sound on If you want some context!
