Questions cause a flow state.

• Today I have another step forward in understanding the concept that "question encourages verbalizing.

• Questions encourage verbalization, but "answering questions correctly" is not a prerequisite for doing so.

• Any question of moderate difficulty that is not so difficult that it cannot be answered, nor so easy that it can be answered immediately without thinking.

• It is more important to get into the flow state by considering problems of moderate difficulty.

• But you never know what questions will be of moderate difficulty for them.

  • Sometimes the other person thinks too hard.
    • You could answer more casually, but you try to remember everything you've said in the past to maintain consistency.
  • On the other hand, you think too easily.
    • They oversimplify and think, "This is the only possible answer to that question, right?

• What should we do in such a situation?

  • There is no way to deal with it in advance.
  • I have to take it as, "You think so."
