A fascinating talk by an AI professor on the importance of autonomous, objective-free, and divergent thought in creating greatness and innovation

My best friend sent me this talk and I was almost immediately turned off: the title seemed clickbait-y, the speaker was dry, and I saw that the video was 40 minutes long.

But he insisted that I push through that and give the talk a chance. So I did. And guess what, r/INTP? You should do the same.

The talk really speaks to the strengths of the typical INTP that are often considered unfavourable in society:

• exploration for the sake of it (vs being purpose/objective driven)
• child-like wonder with ideas (vs getting shit done)
• autonomous thought (vs collaboration and consensus)

The speaker explains why these qualities are critical for innovation and greatness.

I won't spoil it any further.

Here's the talk, enjoy:

(By the way, I recommend watching it at 1.5x speed and ignoring the unnecessary shit questions interruptions from the audience.)
