Having ideas is trivial. Having great ideas isn’t.

I mean even step 2 imo I can generate ideas as a byproduct but not as a task itself or they’re all dumb af lool

Like genuinely unironically it's *really* useful to be able to take a terrible idea and riff on it until you get something interesting. Often it'll be interesting and still terrible, but now you've learned something neat.

there's great value in taking things seriously, really working through something It allows you to explore good ideas, to discover great ideas, and to reject bad ideas Shallow diffuse thinking is useful but focusing is where the work is donehttps://twitter.com/VecnanKrait/status/1314391648961540096 …

very often, *trying* to come up with good ideas creates mediocrity, bc of subconscious pre-judgement try to come up with 1000 deliberately dumb ideas some of them will be brilliant, because the line between genius and stupid is thin, and you'll often cross it by accident
-
the challenge is to then recognize when your dumbness is brilliant, which can be hard because of The Hard Problem, which is managing your own psychology. It can be hard to admit that you can be smarter when you're trying to be dumb than when trying to be smart
