Magnus Carlsen gives a great explanation of the extraordinary power of what @DavidDeutschOxf has coined the 'fun criterion'... and the perils of its negation. https://t.co/fC2ngdvxXt
The great ones don’t do it for money or fame or power.
Or to build an institution, or to help others, or to save the world.
Like a child tinkering, they create it for its own sake.
Free of the burden of ambition.
Deaf to the demands of the world.
once you taste making something from nothing - a child, a poem, a garden, a home - you understand divinity from the inside. creation itself is addictive
