Bootstrapping a complex thesis from background research and brainstorming notes is an imagination-nerve chicken-egg problem. If you don’t solve it you’ll basically just end up with a glorified narrative bibliography.

The Arthur Clarke “hazards of prophecy” (failure of imagination/failure of nerve) are coupled. You need an imaginative perspective to inspire boldness to tackle the unsolved problems framed by it. You need the boldness to see the discovery phase results with imagination 😬😖
