- There's a certain goal oriented mindset for a lot of folks. It's often pitted against open ended exploration. Maybe the new paradigm of ideas are going to come from the latter since the former is getting more and more saturated. ---- "Fundamental, open-ended questions seem to be at least as good a source of breakthroughs as goals, no matter how ambitious. This is difficult to imagine or convince others of in Silicon Valley's goal-driven culture. Indeed, we ourselves feel the attraction of a goal-driven culture. But empirically open-ended exploration can be just as, or more successful." - [Link](https://numinous.productions/ttft/)
