Exit Music (notes)

I just want to be able to think clearly and express what I’m thinking. It seems I’m great at finding relevant wisdom when I have something to react to — a foil for my spirit? — but without that, the mother of all blank canvases.

Perhaps some good generative pretexts:

1. Imagine someone coming to me for advice. What do they ask? What are they really asking? How would I help them to think about their problem? What advice would I give them?
2. Create something just good enough to react to. Then recurse – create a reaction to that thing, which in turns spawns another reaction. Recursive momentum rather than iterative momentum.
