Malcolm Gladwell

And like if somebody is feeling in a dearth, what would you tell somebody who asked you like, Malcolm, I'm stuck.

I feel like I can't create anything.

So do you think that literally means get outside?

Like go walk outside your door, go to a new location, change proximity in order to have creativity?

Or does that also mean reading or listening to a podcast?

That's brilliant.

I've never thought about that.

It's almost just like first principles thinking and you're finding the source material as opposed to just the end.

That's so interesting.

And you're right.

We've seen it with young people, I think, too.

Things like

And with much love, because Sean Rad is a buddy, but like Tinder kind of you self-select based on people that are like you now to date.

You can be in friend groups where everybody's sort of the same.

Socio-economically, you can stay in similar groups.

So I think maybe the calcification used to be when we were older, but now it can even be when we're younger because all of the people around us are an echo chamber and we don't have a lot of people pushing on our ideas.

And so I think this idea works really well if you're a young person too.

You actually have to get around people that you might go, huh,

I totally disagree with you.

And that's interesting.
