Explain something earnestly in a ridiculous fashion. Add unnecessary context that attempts to support but is just noise.
NOTE
For example: Make a Youtube video that explains intervals on the piano. Interval is a simple concept: the distance between two notes on the keyboard.
You wish to do this through analogy and demonstration.
Concoct this crazy scheme, where rather than just putting your hand on the keyboard and measuring distance (even a ruler would be unnecessary here), you explain how the interval is the equivalent of “If you took two long vaccuum tubes, and filled them with marbles. Then roll the marbles down the shoot. They’ll land on two different notes. This is an interval.”
Basically going for less philosophical bent than Sagan’s “If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe” and leaning in completely on the unnecessary to the problem.
If you add more and more information, the instructive power can be damaged too as the analogy or experiment falls apart (“wait, what are the marbles in this context here? do they have to be a specific color to denote an interval?“)
In order to answer this question correctly, ensure the Atlantic ocean still exists…
