To be completely honest, I wish I was spending this time to figure out what I want to spend it about. I'm really bad at just finding specific questions or specific things that I'm interested about, so I have some general themes. So I love design, I love architecture, art, but I just haven't been able to come up with a specific question.

Anouk doesn't know what she wants her final project to be, but in what I'm learning is like kind of classic Anouk fashion. She was like, I'd rather just be using this time to figure out what I actually am interested in. And so like, again, a clay pot of yogurt, not something that was immediately attention grabbing for her. Right.

Well, it's funny because this is something that, like, occasionally comes up for us on our show. Some weeks we spend our time thinking about small and unserious questions. Like, we might be trying to track down a Russian rapper, and meanwhile the economy is crashing and the president's trying to, like, dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or something.

It's like, wait, how sad are the monkeys in the zoo again? And that was coming to mind as I was hearing them talk about their... serious research interests bumping up against this silly yogurt question. But this is in some ways the entire point of David's class. He's trying to teach them the disciplined form of curiosity.

Yeah, he's trying to say maybe it's a more valuable skill or at least it's the skill that this class is trying to teach you that you should be able to chase down answers to questions that you don't care about.

I've kind of been like a connoisseur de monde build where I'm like, let's just see if this is possible.

Welcome back to the show. Chapter four, looking for treasure. So PJ, a couple of months have passed since my first visit to the French school and we're about to hop on a call to start our investigation for real.

No, The thing that I think is propelling me and motivating me at this point is the fact that I'm getting to investigate this alongside two high schoolers who seem bored by it. The fun part for me is not, can I answer this question? Can you make them care about it? Can I get these students interested in this question? Okay. So I get on a Zoom with Romy and Anouk.
