Many times we take intuitive (and obvious) steps to learn about something or suss out understanding. But there’s a common practice I use when observing anything I haven’t fully grokked; I reverse the polarity of my compass and look at it in a completely different way.

“I ask you to look both ways. For the road to knowledge of the stars leads through the atom; and important knowledge of the atom has been reached through the stars.” - Sir Arthur Eddington
You’ve seen my commentary on the atomization of content; this also seems relevant given the propensity for people to assume that content is better if bigger.
Examples…
Google is big - is there value in the opposite approach? Hint: Robert is already on that track as is SmartSpace(tm).
Search engines find stuff that already exists - is there any value in creating a search engine about the future (e.g., content that *will* [or should] exist)?
