The Death of the Artist: How Creators Are Struggling to Survive in the Age of Billionaires and Big Tech
William Deresiewiczamazon.comSometimes the process of thinking looks like needless chaos from the outside
But thats what creatives should be doing.
Banging on random objects just to see what it might shake out.
Creatives need to make a mess in order to arrive at clarity.
“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.”

@borismus You only get to be early and right about a lot of things by trying a lot of things.

Stewart Brandtwitter.comBret Victor - Inventing on Principle
youtube.comReally resonated with this talk. Using the art of coding as a basis, Bret talks about his life principle around ideas.
Here are some meditations:
Ideas start small and fragile.
Ideas need to be shaped.
Ideas should be tried as they are being thought.
Ideas need an environment where they can freely grow.
Creators should not be blind to what they are doing.
They should receive feedback from the idea itself.
See its reaction to their action.
Feel like Rick Rubin and Steve Jobs would dig Bret's ideas about ideas.
the accumulation of learning, an inevitable byproduct of the process of growing up, takes us not closer to but further away from our creative source
