What is the opposite of Theory?
A question stemming from that… Can there be an opposite of something called Theory?
All these questions, and all these posts, have the potential to turn into pages. And pages can turn into something more…
Marketers have for long been harping on ‘creating experiences’ and ‘going beyond the product’.
My question:
Is product a part of the experience? Or, is experience a part of the product?
We have Venn diagrams and we have sets and subsets and such concepts and theories. And yet when it comes to behaving, operating and moving in this world to organize ourselves and accomplish certain things, these concepts can lead us astray.
If product is a part of the experience, then experience would need a name and need a software like charting of paths and protocols. Once that is done experience becomes the product or part of the product. In which case, it would be great to begin with the premise that ‘experience is a part of the product’. And then look at how expansive or how narrow you want the experience to be for your customers. Then you look at effectiveness, productivity and efficiency and other measurements that you have.
Is Chair-sitting a resting posture?
Reframed…
Does sitting on a chair lead to rest?
I just came across a Youtube video titled “How Repressed Emotions Trigger Autoimmune Disease”. I think I believe it.
So if you have any autoimmune disease, it would be right for you to ask, “Has any emotion been repressed?”
The next question then is, “Which is that emotion / which are those emotions that have been repressed?”
Obviously when you ask such questions, you will attempt to answer in words.
So the next question is, “Is it possible to identify and name the repressed emotion(s)?”
It is a big deal. It is worth the exercise. No?
Have these storage devices and memory cards and chips matched paper in durability?

A certain absolute amount is necessary for one to stay in business or to stay in a good spirit to continue pursuing one’s curiosities.
At what volume of business or work do you secure that absolute amount?
Somehow Quora is showing me plenty of questions related to ‘developing creativity’.
Some question-submitters ask for techniques to develop creativity.
What that means is they’ll first get a hang of the techniques and then be able to do creative things.
If that’s the way it is, it is strange.
Creativity is entwined with moving the hands, the body, the legs, the thoughts.
Instead of asking, just decide to make something on your own. And then do everything to give shape to whatever you’ve decided.
Quora has a fantastic thing: Question Comments.
It means you can comment on the question (on various aspects like wording, framing, quality, etc.) instead of answering it.
Good pastime for me. Hope the feature stays.
Do they find time apart from their job of sales?
If they find time, do they read?
Is a sales guy who is doing good more likely to read than the one who is not doing so good? Or is it the other way round?
Sales guys love to talk, so what do they do to improve their communication skills?
Lot of construction happening over here in Ahmedabad. Plans become buildings so rapidly.
I see these big grey colored bricks being used for elevation.
When we think of buying a house, do we think what kind of bricks the walls are made of?
Should we bother about some more technical aspects of construction itself?
Or is it just all so safe and rightly done, we don’t need to bother?
Should we get a map of all wires and pipes running hidden throughout the building? Are the builders giving these things for new buildings?
Why don’t we want to know such particulars? Is it boring?
Dear Shoe Lover,
I want to bother you a bit. I know it’s slightly more difficult than to buy shoes but still, I want you to think a bit more. And be a bit more truthful than your limits permit. Will you?

In case you weren’t bothered and are kind enough, do drop your answer in the comments. Or any other comment that can lead to a chat.
Dear Parent,
In some of my conversations regarding sending kids to tuition classes, I hear parents say about what other parents think about sending their kids to tuition claases: My kid will be ‘left behind’.
Left behind? Like how? What does it mean? Have you bothered to elaborate and understand for yourself all the meanings of ‘left behind’?
