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?…

Yvette’s interview with Paul Jacques Keene and Lydia Williams, son and daughter of Philadelphia born artist, Paul Farwell Keene Jr. encourages investment in African American artist. Paul Farwell Keene, Jr. (1920-2009) was an artist and an American icon in the tradition of the African American community. His art pulsates with vibrancy and with color explosion to depict his view of urban life, and his art functions as an outward expression of the genius of his inner world. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he began his art study and later studied at the Académie Julien in Paris, France. In Paris, he was nourished by the jazz music scene as well as the camaraderie of American expatriates. His work began to reflect this new urban setting, and his many paintings of street and jazz musicians have been shown around the world. Most recently, Paul Keene’s work is on exhibition at the Pompidou Museum in Paris from March to June, 2025. The exhibition, “Paris Noir,” traces 50 years of artistic expression in Paris of the work of African American, African, and Carribbean artists and explores the history of the civil rights movement in the United States, African independence and the fight for equality in France at the end of the 20th century.…

Yvette’s stay at the Pont Royal Hotel, a former “writer’s residence” turned hotel and later expanded to its impressive destination status, was enhanced by her opportunity to interview the general manager, Frederic Legallois. The hotel is located on the Left Bank of the Seine River, where artists and intellectuals of the early and mid-20th century held court on café terraces in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. This neighborhood is a postcard-perfect vision of Paris: a grand, boutique-filled boulevard; café terraces practically made for people-watching; former residences turned into hotels; antique shops and bookstores spilling out on cobblestoned squares. Yvette enjoyed the hotel staff’s attentiveness to quality service, the art on display and the jazz performance in the hotel’s well-appointed bar and lounge. The hotel’s proximity to museums and gardens allowed Yvette to enjoy the beautifully manicured Jardin du Luxembourg, which dates back 400 years, and the Musee d’Orsay. The Musee d’Orsay, which was originally established with loans from the Louvre, now claims the largest collection of impressionist and post-impressionist art in the world. Taking over a former Beaux-Arts railway station along the Seine River, this Museum holds masterpieces, which Yvette had an opportunity to enjoy, like Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” and Edouard Manet’s “The Luncheon on the Grass” and a very special find for Yvette, the American artist’s James McNeill Whistler's “Whistler Mother.”…
