When to Stop Problem-Solving
This chapter addresses some objections that need to be taken seriously, and that may call a halt to a problem-solving enterprise. A scholar should stop problem-solving if they are no longer interested in it, of course, or if they realize that intellectual approaches are not what’s needed for the cause and their commitment is to the cause rather than to the studying. But a problem-solving scholar should also stop upon discovering something new, even if it’s not a step toward solving the problem, because it’s important to get new insights out in the world and let others build on them. It is best to think of problem-solving in the context not of one project, but of a career.
