Over the years, I've been frequently surprised that enthusiasts of "Tools for Thought" and "Bicycles for the Mind" often overlook a few basics:
- Simple practices like changing location, exercising, riding a bike, or meditating can significantly impact one's mental and physical state, influencing thoughts more profoundly than any software.
- "Lucky accidents" and intuition (serendipity) frequently lead to breakthroughs when exploring complex ideas. Provoking this in software or else remains an open research challenge.
- Thoughts are meaningless in isolation; ultimately, it's all about relationships and communication.
