I think so.
What's necessary is the willingness to go beyond what all the other monkeys are doing.
This is what I tell my children.
Why are you doing what all the other monkeys are doing?
You have to be willing to do something that is outside the bounds.
Otherwise, you'll just be adding incrementally at best to what's already there.
So it takes a sense of adventure, maybe.
And a little bit of courage, I think.
Oh, definitely courage.
Where do you get that from?
I never cared what people thought.
So I've been gifted with the ability to let criticism go in one ear and depart from the other one without getting too worked up about it.
And is that courage?
No, it's just I followed what I wanted to do rather than what other people thought I should do.
Oh, I don't think of that.
No, there's no moment of this predictive.
And whose career is predicted?
I don't I find it very hard to predict even the next five years, even though I just did that with the prediction that we'll be able to genetically encode chemistry.
But I can predict that because I can make it happen.
I can understand French very well.
