Think plural by default

Less is more, and more is more than that

Humans tend to start from a singular perspective, but the universe is not binary. Plural thinking only takes a subtle shift:

• “What do I want?” → What do we want?

• “What is the problem?“ → What are the problems?

• “What should we do next?” → What could we do next?

Instead of an interpretation, seek interpretations. Instead of “the goal,” talk goals. Seek not The Truth; collect truths.

Think plural by default.

Instead of one answer, you may end up with many. This may feel like the opposite of fewer, better, but you don’t have to keep everything you find.

It just means starting from a place of abundance. Then you can zero in on what you really want.
