🐰🎩 - Revealing a bit of the didactic approach I use

Imagine that I want to talk about something I consider important but has many technical aspects, like the risks of CBDCs.

First and foremost, I like to think about the person who will be listening to me.

Will they be interested, or will they find it boring?

For those who have no prior experience with the topic, it may be excessive to start speaking directly.

The problem with dumping a bunch of technical subject matter is that it can make it seem like it's:

-boring (doesn't seem relevant or interesting),
-complicated (doesn't make sense, hard to understand, terms defined that haven't been explained), or
-gibberish (the reaction is "wow, what you're saying is crazy talk, man" without the person even understanding).

To facilitate communication, one way is to start by talking about something they already understand. Put them in an imaginary situation. Show them things they can verify (e.g., serial numbers on banknotes, as shown in the video below), and then finally touch on the topic I want to address (the risks of CBDCs).

Let me know what you think of this teaching method. If you have other examples or approaches to share, I appreciate it. Let's learn and improve together.
