The reason why there's no music here, is this is a reverential statement. I want you to know I'm not joking. I want you to know I mean everything I'm saying. This is not hyperbole, this is: I - very much - I'm being sincere here.
- Right.
And by getting rid of the fun music, and the campiness, it's also why this shot is handheld.
- Yeah.
It's a level of intimacy. It's so you, the viewer, you're sitting right in front of me.

I make a practice of regularly checking in about whether I have a dutiful stance towards some aspect of my research. Once I notice, I can usually summon curiosity by asking lots of questions, imagining potential implications, and so on. Michael Nielsen has some great notes on tactics for this in his [Notes on creative contexts](https://michaelnotebook.com/creative_context/index.html).. Often I need to improve the framing, to find one which better expresses what I’m deeply excited about. If I can’t find a problem statement which captures my curiosity, it’s best to drop the project for now.
