Tweetable Comments “I think we all want a little more ‘not obvious’. We all want something that we haven't heard before.” “If you really concentrate your attention on focusing on the things that are most likely to open your perspective and you seek out those sources of information,  you become better at identifying those things that will move your intellect forward.” “Curation is the ultimate method for transforming noise into meaning.” “I took something that would've taken me six hours as a professional who knows what I'm doing. And AI as a collaborator, allowed me to do it in 90 minutes.”
