Innovation

Notes

Innovation is perhaps the highest standard of creative thinking. It is to truly generate something new, something that has not existed before. As humanity progresses, being innovative has become more complex because all the low hanging fruits have already been taken.

We would have to use our Critical Thinking to rise above the obvious and mediocre, to think differently from others Conformism, and search for the Counterfactual, the idea that waits for us in the void, that doesn't exist yet, or that is around us yet haven't been combined into something coherent.

Perhaps it's no longer possible to be a sole innovator, one person can't hold all the necessary information to be truly innovative. More than being a genius, innovating is the product of good Cooperation.

Innovating is also not a "eureka" moment, it is the result of a long and difficult Experimentation phase. It is the result of many failures, of many wrong ways just to find the correct one, and while it may not seem that way, every step along the way brought us closer to our success.

Since the simple tasks are being automized and outsourced to either A.I or low wage workers, the need to innovate has never been higher. Our Competitive Advantage will be based on our ability to innovate, to bring something new, our Skill synthesis to the world.

Same as with other forms of creativity, innovating requires a level of Curiosity, because creativity can't be commanded be achieved by external rewards.
