Why not figure out a way to have related thoughts talk to each other more frequently—and at a higher level of intensity? That's the idea behind the question: > How can we maximize "Thought Collisions"? "**Thought Collisions**" are when you have thoughts interact with other thoughts. Their measurement is in the interaction and exchange of ideas. This is largely a metric that can't be measured, but it's still helpful to consider what effective thinking feels like. Here's the expanded question: > How can we maximize the ***Frequency, Quality, and Reliability*** of Thought Collisions? The answer? By using MOCs (Maps of Content). MOCs become a tightly-packed room where ideas have to jostle for positioning and figure things out. It's the “the room where it happens".
