Can I do that? Can that be something that you can learn? How did questions function differently between Eastern versus Western intellectual traditions? What role do you think embodied questions those we explore through doing rather than thinking play in developing wisdom? What's on the other side of the hill? What happens if you go to the end? What's the origin of this? How should one think about the exploratory in one's life? Is there anything that you would add to your list of 15 statements that define what makes a quality question? Is there a qualitative difference between the questions humans are asking and the questions our AI systems are beginning to formulate? What do you think would help them get there? Any idea on a forcing function on how we get them [LLMs] to ask the better questions so that they might improve in that direction? What were some novel questions that broke your brain at the time in thinking about this 10,000-year clock or beyond? What's it good for? What would you use it for? What else could you do over the long term for 10,000 years? How do you transmit values over time? How do you evolve values that need to change, and how do you make a difference? How do even know what you don't want to change? What do you want to continue? What's the most essential aspects of our civilization that we don't want to go away? What are the rules? What is the system? How do you pass things along in time and not change the ones you don't wanna change, and make sure you change the ones that are more adaptable so they can adapt? What do you think about questioning itself as an art form? How has being a photographer influenced the way you question reality, visually compared to verbally? Are you a photographer that takes photos or makes photos? What will happen? What will happen next? What are your right now questions that you are wrestling with or working with in your life? Can someone else do what I'm trying to do here? Am I more me in doing my art or more me in doing the writing? Do you have any other thoughts or encouragement about questions that we haven't explored? What makes a good question? How do you ask a good question? What questions do you dwell on to be in purposeful imbalance? What is your practice in embracing the inefficient nature of questions to achieve breakthroughs? What are the new hills you can build and frontiers you can explore? How can you use your curiosity and humanity to pursue questions that trend toward the fringes?…

We talk about how this module introduces a clean, configurable way to manage task overflow by allowing site builders to hide less frequently used tabs, reorder them, and set a display threshold.

The initiative chose to leverage the powerful Webform module to create a simple contact form recipe for Drupal CMS, making it easy for users to add a pre-configured form and page to their site. While the initial focus was on simplicity, future plans include enhancing the form with additional fields, newsletter sign-up options, and exploring how Experience Builder can provide a more user-friendly interface for managing the underlying Webform complexity. The discussion also touches on a related Local Task More module which addresses the issue of too many local tasks on Drupal nodes by hiding less used options behind a "more" button, offering a simpler approach compared to modules that drastically alter the UI.A DrupalBrief.com…

The conversation begins by demystifying the concept of “migrating” to Drupal CMS—clarifying that it functions as a pre-configured Drupal installation with bundled features known as "recipes," rather than a new platform altogether. The episode also examines the support strategy for contributed modules within Drupal CMS and the rationale behind its focus on specific organizational segments. The second half of the episode highlights a comprehensive UX research initiative aimed at improving the experience for content creators and site builders. Topics include the use of personas, benchmarking, usability testing (including the role of AI assistants), and the iterative learn-build-measure approach.
