I think the hardest thing about being creative and coming up with new ideas, is that everywhere you look, someone else already thought of it before. Then you realize that all great artists have taken ideas from others works and incoperated their own way to it… painters, scientists, muscians… creativity is not only about originality, but also about who you are and how you present yourself, and add onto others ideas… you’re important enough to incorporate. It’s never good to copy, some people believe this is copying, the actual word would be sampling though, and honestly, your favorite painter, poet, musician, writer, ect… has definitely done it before. Ideas come from ideas. At least now they do.

Creativity: The ability of the human consciousness to imagine, usually to solve problem(s) Major Theories 1. Incubation effect Sleep on it (or just do summin else for a while) 2. Convergent and divergent thought Think broad, then narrow down 3. Creative cognition Break it down to 'first principles' (as the Tesla dude says) and expand beyond it 4. Explicit-Implicit interactions Write down what 'just is true' about your context and what would need to be implied to assume that 5. Conceptual Blending Mix and match different thoughts, styles, categories 6. Honing Theory Ask questions that 'hone' your understanding Stuff in the talk+ extra: 1. Imagine the exact opposite 2. Writing 3. Observance (Acuity to problems and strange observances)

We have solutions only when there's a problem. Embrace problems every day, There's a solution to all problems if we listen, observe, not complain and stress. Ideas come when we are in the thick of a problem and left alone without any options. When there's a scarcity, where there's a lack we find fast solutions.

Anyone can have a great idea? You don't have to be creative or a genius? Just write a song, or have an IQ in the top 5%(Feynman'), Page is probably in the top 1%. A feel good talk, but no, not everyone can have a great idea, sorry!
@chrisriley9182
@chrisriley9182 Жыл бұрын
I'm inclined to agree with you. His examples rest on assumptions that he hasn't checked, peoples networks/resources, iq, and also he hasn't factored in inertia which is the gap between having an idea and taking action on it (that alone stops most great ideas in their tracks) The redeeming thing is that people can generate ideas that are great for their own lives contexts, not necessarily the global stage
