Scott Adams: The Imagination Interface
- pavel_lishin 16y ago> I wouldn't be able to get through an entire press conference without saying "Blow me." This is why I'm not invited to sit in on meetings with clients.
- danilocampos 16y agoI'm reading this just at the right moment. I've been staring at a long mental list of skills I don't have. Normally this wouldn't be so gloomy, but when the things you don't know how to do seem like important solutions to problems that exist right now, it can be a bit discouraging. The post reads a little flip but it feels like a genuine look into how Adams works. I'm going to try it out. Reminds me of a little mental hack I picked up after watching Thank You for Smoking. Never say "I don't know," which sounds defeatist and permanent. Always say "I don't have that information," which sounds transient and correctable. It's a better position from the outside, sure, but most importantly it keeps you hungry to continue learning.
