Reflection

  • How can we ask better questions that lead to rigorously tested solutions to societal challenges?
  • By asking better questions, will we be able to dig deeper on the issues we face and understand a more complete version of the truth? Is this our best tool for understanding what we don't know we don't know?
  • Can the principals of traditional knowledge help us ask the better questions?
  • Do we do a good enough job of understanding how different cultures view different issues, well, differently?
