A doctor with no symptoms

The mechanism of the block is diagnostic. Brainstorming ideas as a trio only works if each corner of the triangle is known, and the partner hasn’t found his passion yet, so “no vamos a saber para hacer el triángulo” ▸ 46:30. His analogy is precise: it’s going to the doctor, saying “estoy enfermo”, and offering no symptom ▸ 47:07, the space of possibilities without clues is impossibly large, “como mirar un bebé y preguntar ¿por qué lloras?” ▸ 46:29.

Two founders who know their corners, one who doesn’t, and the honest conclusion is that no deadline forces self-knowledge on schedule, “yo veo difícil que en dos días la encuentre” ▸ 38:16…
