Aspects
Mercury Semi-Square Virginia
A low irritation rubs between your wish for a clean, certain position and the messy nuance real thought requires, so you can lock down too soon to feel sure. Purity of view starts to crowd out curiosity. Notice when you have stopped listening, hold the question open longer, and let nuance back in.
Lean in — Keep the question open past your first firm answer.
Watch for — Prize a tidy certainty over an honest doubt.
