Answering The Wrong Questions
Have you ever been in a conversation with someone and asked them a question -- and they go on this elaborate rabbit trail and never address the question?
It sort of reminds me of Billy Madison when asked about the Industrial Revolution. Billy started talking about a lost puppy he learned about in Kindergarten. The moderator had this to say after his response.
It seems as though culture is awesome at answering questions that people aren't asking. And rather than listening to how they can better answer the question, they just repeat the same answer louder, as if an amplified answer will suffice.
I'm learning that it isn't that people don't have the solution. It's that they can't see the problem.
