Fast,True, Easy — Pick Two

All questions include an implicit contract. If the contract were explicit, the questioner would choose what kind of answer they wanted:

1. brief
2. complete
3. comprehensible

Pick two.

For example the question "How are you?" may be answered:

• brief, comprehensible: "Fine."
• brief, complete: (some obscure, technical, psychological term that may not have been invented yet)
• complete, comprehensible: (what happened so far today, and the day before, a dozen or so of your recent thoughts, your life history, your most annoying habits, your best powers concealed as charming traits, your heart rate, blood sugar and bank balances)

Define yourself by what you choose. You'll be defined by what you forgo.
