This post is in reference to the video in this hyperlinked LinkedIn post. (FYI, I do not endorse what William Naranjo is selling; I’m just referring to the video.)At least half of the time Elon Musk discusses his thoughts on something for over 2 minutes (that isn’t technical like rocket engine design), it feels erie because I drew those same conclusions that I’ve never heard anybody else explicitly say before.I remember sitting and thinking about the economics of technology taking people’s jobs as a teenager and basically concluded everything Elon Musk says in that video plus some additions. The limiting…
Inefficient bureaucracy stems from leaders who overvalue execution and undervalue ideation, or push unvetted ideas.Leaders don’t have to be great at ideation; they just need to employ people who are and let them strip out waste.When Tesla was on the verge of bankruptcy in 2008/2009, Elon Musk didn’t save the company by grabbing an impact wrench and help speed up production.

He saved it by coming up with ideas to decrease costs and get funding, and then telling JB Straubel and his team to…

Figure out what yours is, and try to use it as best you can.
As Said In The Main And Secondary About Pages I’d describe myself as an ideation specialist for “Complex Problems”. I have a high degree of rational creativity for solving “Complex Problems”. I think ideation for “Complex Problems” is my most useful skill to be most helpful for society. One notable person I think I’m similar to as far as how I think is Elon Musk. I think Elon Musk also has a high degree of rational creativity for solving “Complex Problems”. I’m not implying that I will ever be on a similar level or as successful as Elon Musk, but…
