I was listening to the Jason Fried interview from a couple weeks ago and there’s this portion about how psychedelics enabled him to flip a problem around and look at it from the back. “The front of things are fronts, the back of things are real.”
I hate to relegate you all to the dusty, back halls of my memory, but it reminded me of a critic we had in undergrad. At some point during every student presentation he would stand up in apparent bewilderment, flip your building over and set it back down on its roof. Everyone in the room would then agree that this was absolutely an improvement and continued discussing your upside down project for the rest of the crit.
Don’t get me wrong he really was, and is, a nice guy. It was just his process, and yes, I’m sure he did his share of psychedelics in his day.
