Dear Humans,

If you only know one way of doing something, you might be able to get by. You might be able to get a good job and do your taxes and get dinner on the table. Because oftentimes knowing how to do it one way is good enough.

But humans aren’t meant for just good enough. We’re meant for more. We’re meant to create new ways of doing things. And the only way you’ll ever do that is if you know the old ways very, very well.

So get the right answer. But that’s just the start. Also think about how you got the answer, how others might get the answer, and any other undiscovered ways of getting it. 

And then you can start asking if we’re even asking the right questions.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
