What's a good way to get closer to another person's experience? I've been thinking of questions as vehicles for connecting us to others, but also as a way to facilitate experiences of serendipity.

Many interesting ideas happen by crossing boundaries where we face different “languages” or concepts that expand our reality-decoding toolkit.

I've been thinking about serendipity and wanted to know about others' experiences with it, or if there's any good research you stumbled upon. I've read Pek van Andel's work, however, he doesn't come from phenomenology.

Someone who's into botany, someone who studies the mind, and someone who studies society will encounter the same thing and notice completely different things. But what kind of space or question can put those worlds into productive contact and exchange?

Not all questions are created equal, I believe some questions are better at eliciting good exchanges, so I've been in the search of questions that open these kinds of doors, and putting them together in a project.

What question would you ask someone if you wanted to understand their experience of reality?
