I say, I go with all these people, but I never go with my wife.
You'd of course want to be like, well, why?
Why don't you go to your wife?
But instead, right?
If instead of saying that, you say, well, what else do you do with your wife?
And what does your wife like to do?
Then you start building out and you start to surface more things.
And then the more of those surprises you lean into, the more your brain starts to pop with possibility and the more it starts to see new possible rules.
So that's just a simple example.
And there's nothing more powerful you can do than having a conversation with another person to expand your intuition.
But to do that, you have to really resist judgment.
And how does art help with intuition?
So every artwork is a product of an intuition.
Because an artist saw something that everyone else had seen a million times before, but saw something new in it.
So as an artist, your job is to paint the sky in a way that no one else has ever painted the sky before.
As a sonnet writer, your job is to describe love in a way that no one has ever described love before.
To do that, you have to see a new possibility in love.
And so what you have to do when you're looking at an artwork is you have to surrender yourself to not getting an explanation from it, but seeing what is unique or new or surprising about it.
And that challenges people because people want to understand a work of art, but instead you want to experience it the way you do as a child, which is you embrace the fact that I don't understand what's happening.
I'm going to lean into the parts that I understand the least.
