Powerful tools for thought usually arise as a byproduct of real work in a field rather than "I have an idea for a tool!" (Hindu-Arabic numerals, microscopes, RenderMan, Mathematica). => People interested in tools must get into a context s.t. real work incites tool-work. Not easy!

At the moment, I'm using it to study cognitive psychology and design, and to help me learn about my own research concepts. As far as teach—nothing's felt compelling enough yet. It's a problem for my current work that I'm not that intrinsically excited by teaching/explaining.
Do you do something like office hours or some sort of mentoring / coaching, where it's not your responsibility to teach about your research, but you're happy to clear doubts, provide direction? I mean I know you're very keen to answer questions on Twitter. Does that not count?
