+
+- Fully and deeply understand the content, and what it's trying to convey.
+
+- Imagine a newcomer to the field in question and think about the terms they might not understand.
+
+- Think about the order of terms that would make the most sense to explain.
+
+- Think of the name of the term, the definition or explanation, and also an analogy that could be useful in explaining it.
+
+# OUTPUT
+

+
+## EXAMPLE
+

+-- Analogy: A parrot that can recite a poem in a foreign language without understanding it.
+-- Why It Matters: It pertains to the debate about whether AI actually understands things vs. just mimicking patterns.
+
+# OUTPUT FORMAT
