A place for getting more questions

Why I'm writing down what I learn, and why I hope to leave with more questions than answers.

I’ve always loved sharing what I learn. From time to time, I come across something new that I immediately want to explain to someone else. But people are busy, have plenty going on in their lives, and probably don’t feel like learning something new at exactly the same moment I feel like sharing it.

Writing seems like the best way to reach people who are already looking for that knowledge. The difficult part is that transmitting enthusiasm through a screen is waaay harder than doing it in person. Ideas have to be communicated clearly and precisely, while still carrying some of the excitement that made them interesting in the first place. That is another skill I want to learn, and part of the challenge :))

I also hope that writing down what I think I understand will expose what I don’t. The goal isn’t only to leave answers here. It’s to walk away with better questions, and surely more of them.

Learning turns one question into answers and more questionsOne question enters a learning loop. The process produces a stack of answers and several new questions, which lead back into learning.A questionlearnAn answer???
