“Part of what I’m doing is selectively looking for questions that I already know something interesting about. Or I’ve stumbled across a paper recently that was really cool, and now I’ll keep an eye out for a question that will let me bring it up — something I can use as a springboard. So in a conversation, someone might say, “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” Okay, well, what if money did grow on trees? Our economy would collapse. On the other hand, we would switch to a new currency. It’s complicated.”
