Bret 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 artifacts associated with work have become fetishized, while the impact, the human emotional and conceptual changes that result from that work now feel ephemeral and fleeting, when they’re the whole reason anyone does anything.
Sometimes 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.
