Answer difficult questions instantly using mental frameworks (models).

💬 Scenario: The "Impossible" Question

Audience Member "Given the rapid pace of generative AI, do you believe 'human creativity' is now obsolete?"
Dr. Vanna "That's a profound question. It touches on the very definition of what it means to be human." Technique: Acknowledge & Buy Time.
Dr. Vanna "To break that down... On one hand, AI replicates style flawlessly. On the other hand, it lacks intent and lived experience." Technique: Thesis vs. Antithesis.
Dr. Vanna "Therefore, I don't posit it's obsolete. Rather, it forces us to redefine creativity as intent, not just output." Technique: Synthesis (Conclusion).
