To form your own thoughts on a domain, you read widely and deeply on the key authors and companies there.
Questions to ask, find answers for and make notes on:
- What are the key questions they are asking?
- What are the main arguments they are making and the structure of their arguments?
- What is the evidence supporting their claims?
Path to sense-making:
- You take and make notes.
- You map those ideas together.
- You synthesize and remix those ideas and made notes.
