Nature uses a random genetic system to hold the creativity, it’s quite an amazing system running for billions of years, to keep life on earth surviving and flourishing. I call it zeroth-order creativity
Human society is very similar to nature, it needs a rule to hold creativity as the key to development. I call it first-order creativity
Where are these first-order creativities? And where are they come from?
- Academia (where the job is to do discovery and creativity)
- Business competition (creativity is the key to survival as the theory of Joseph Schumpeter)
- Personal creative mindset (Steve Jobs and Elon Musk)
- Random methods (Masayoshi Son uses this method to do inventions)
So, it is obvious how one can be a creative person:
- Learn from the most creative person to have a creative mindset
- Close to the academia
- Be a businessperson
