Shownotes

What constitutes a good question? In this week’s podcast, we examine one of the gripping questions of our time: are there more doors or wheels on planet Earth? We use the wheels vs doors debate as a gateway into the dynamics of questions and information exchange, considering how a question should be defined and whether it is the same as generating a hypothesis. In doing so, we discuss logical positivism, value of information theory, Fermi analysis and the Zen Buddhist concept of Mu. Finally, we share the best and worst questions we’ve asked or been asked. A few things we mentioned in this podcast: - More wheels or doors? https://twitter.com/newyorknixon/status/1500000428985286657 - Vienna Circle https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/vienna-circle/ - Fermi Estimate https://brilliant.org/wiki/fermi-estimate/ - Manhattan Project https://www.britannica.com/event/Manhattan-Project For more information on Aleph Insights visit our website https://alephinsights.com or to get in touch about our podcast email podcast@alephinsights.com
