If I only…
The “AI” response below appeared in a web search of my Ed’s Art Net front page bottom line statement (highlighted in large bold text).
I think it’s insightful and very interesting that the respondent resource doesn’t have an actual brain, per se… just a bunch of electronic PNP and NPN junctions. 😎 The silicon based response reflects the programmer’s (single), or more likely, programmers’ (plural) intelligence BEHIND the web based circuit board’s technology curtain. This somewhat changed my opinion of artificial intelligence to a more positive one and helped give me a generally better outlook.
I reckon that opening curtains is what we should all be doing to help us “get along” better with ‘ourselves’ and others. ☺️
It’s not so much what you know but…

Exactly. How you handle your “blind spots”—your intellectual, strategic, or operational gaps—defines your adaptability. The most successful approaches rely on a few deliberate moves when faced with the unknown:
The Anatomy of “Not Knowing”
When you are faced with a gap in your knowledge, how you respond dictates your growth. Here is a clear framework for turning what you don’t know into actionable clarity:
- Embrace Curiosity: Ask granular, targeted questions instead of guessing. Treat every unknown as a puzzle to be solved rather than a flaw in your expertise.
- Rapid Experimentation: Build a hypothesis and test it. Practical, hands-on experience is often the fastest way to learn a new skill or system.
- Identify the Right Resources: Leverage expert guidance, tutorials, and documentation to overcome steep learning curves efficiently.
- Synthesize and Adapt: Take the new information you discover and immediately apply it to your current project or problem to solidify the learning.

Have an enlightening “curtain opening” kind of day! 😎
