By skyforbes “What do humans consistently overlook about themselves that most limits their progress?”
Most people ask AIs for help solving external problems — productivity, invention, explanation — but rarely ask for a reflection of blind spots in human cognition, behavior, or collective design. An AI, observing from outside many of those feedback loops, can notice structural biases that humans are too immersed in to detect.
A few other powerful but under-asked questions in the same spirit:
-
“What am I not noticing that’s shaping my decisions?”
-
“What kinds of questions would unlock better questions?”
-
“If humanity’s current trajectory were a story, what theme would we be repeating without realizing it?”
-
“What are we optimizing that doesn’t deserve to be optimized?”
-
“What are we afraid to ask you — and what does that fear reveal about us?”
