Before we say anything, let's see who's in the room.
Last one — let it land a beat longer than the others before moving on.
Let the room sit with this before explaining it. No attribution given — leave it unsourced rather than guessing.
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. LIFE, May 2, 1955 — "Death of a Genius"
Activity
Sit with the question.
Instructions to come — start the clock and the music when the room is ready.
Placeholder slide. The actual activity instructions weren't specified — write them here before the session.
Drop the second audio file in as audio/day-1-activity.mp3.
The opening line of the Vedānta-sūtra — "now, therefore, the inquiry into the Absolute." Add a translation line here if you want to gloss it live instead of leaving it to land untranslated.
Press → once to collapse the cloud into the five distilled questions, centered and emphasized. That's the whole build — one press.
I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details. Encounter magazine, 1979 — "A Talk with Einstein"
If we do discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason — for then we would know the mind of God. Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time (1988)
Intelligence, then emotion, then spirit — each tier sits on the one below it.
The arrow marks the spectrum SQ sits on — only humans reach for it. Say that live; it isn't labeled on the slide.
The boatman and the educated man.
Four ways people try to answer this.
- Speculation
- Sense Gratification
- Superficial Religion
- Technological Advancement
Placeholder — content for "the biggest lie" wasn't specified. Write the line and its unpacking here.
Placeholder — the story itself wasn't specified. Write it here, or replace with a .ladder.build if it unfolds in beats.
On their own, zeros mean nothing.
Put a one in front, and they mean everything.
Two presses. First reveals the "nothing" line. Second reveals the "1" and the second line together — the 1 fades in on its own via CSS, keyed off the second line's reveal.
