I think it's the delight of not knowing something.
Like we have conflated intelligence with knowing things, with knowledge.
I think intelligence, even the dictionary definition of intelligence, I believe is much more about the ability to learn and
decide and shape your environment, adapt to it.
I think there's even a higher node question, which is like, what do you want to learn about?
That's curiosity.
What are you willing to be open about?
And that requires a confidence that I try to get to with a show title and smart girl dumb questions, not certainty.
It's the opposite of certainty.
It's actually the ability to suspend knowledge to learn something from someone who's
who you think you might not be able to learn from.
And I think that is what's really missing.
And it kind of brings me back to the arc of my own trajectory in journalism, as I think a lot of people, you look at the Gallup trust rankings, which I think are at 28% right now of people who have a great deal or fair amount of trust in media.
That's 28%.
So three-fourths of people do not.
And I think that a lot of it is because people are being told what to think that the asking questions, like the...
The interrogative part of journalism has faded away and kind of been taken over by opinion journalism or hot takes or, you know, influencers are telling you what to think.
And I think most people are like, I know how to think.
I'd just like you to help me get information.
I think you can't do one without the other, right?
