I said, what?
What does Beethoven have to do with special forces?
And he says, well, because Beethoven always knew exactly where he was going, but every time he went there, he went there in a different way.
And the extraordinary thing about listening to Beethoven's music is the improvisational nature
of every moment of it, but it has a consistent purpose.
So you always feel like you're going somewhere that is spontaneous.
And that's the magic of real creativity is it is purposeful, but totally in the moment.
Yeah, so exceptional information is this totally bizarre army term.
It's a military term.
It means the exception to a rule.
And so the idea is you're always looking for that outlier, that anomaly that is the leading edge of reality, that if you can hook onto it faster than the other person, you can make tomorrow more quickly than they can.
And so the questions that lead you to that are the question you've never asked before.
And those questions tend to be spontaneous in the moment.
So when you're having a conversation with someone, there are gonna be moments in that conversation when you ask them a question you've never asked anyone before, because something in that conversation has sparked a new question that didn't even occur to you, you could ask.
And that's when you start realizing that you're on the trail to exceptional information.
is when your mind starts asking questions that it hasn't asked before, you start having conversations with people, these questions are coming up.
Because we are so used to technology in the world,
Most of the time that we encounter a new question, we go to Google or what have you to answer it.
And what you're doing there is you're putting an old answer into a new question and you're breaking the question.
Whereas actually what you want to do is you want to lean into the question that you've never asked before and be really rigorous in not accepting an old answer for a new question.
