So there, I agree with you, but I think we, we have a, we have a kind of stereotype of creativity that involves the lone genius. And I would submit that most creativity, even in the arts or in the sciences is, is collaborative creativity.

Okay. Hero instinct. So the hero instinct is, It's something that was born about a half a million years ago when our ancestor, Homo heidelbergensis, began doing things that no humans had been doing before. At this time, we start to see in the fossil record skeletons of people with congenital deformities that survived to the age of adulthood. What does that tell us?

We also see around this time they started hunting much larger animals like woolly mammoths and rhinos and stuff, which in some cases indicates an individual was willing to take some personal risk, be the lead hunter, so that the group could then rush in and take down a much larger group. pray than was possible before.

You also see at this time the tools, much more sophisticated tools that required a lot more work are showing up at this time. And the idea is that people started to have a new motivation, not just a motivation to be normal, which is the peer instinct, but a motivation to be normative, to be a contributor to be more respected than the average person in the group. And how do you do that?
