"I'm glad that Elon is using his fame responsibly and intelligently. He's right about the importance of a question. Thinking starts with curiosity, then is formed into a question, lastly an answer, after much, much thought and research.
Silly questions and bad questions have the effect of steering the whole process into oblivion. Knee jerk responses to questions you never spent serious time contemplating kill good questions if you had one and show an undisciplined mind.
Most people spend no real effort thinking systematically, repetitively, seeking ideas, theories, analyzing weaknesses and strengths to arrive at an answer worth mentioning. For those in our world who do, they are the ones pushing the progress of the human race along against the stubborn mass holding it still.
Elon is a true intellectual. He is like Einstein, Hubble, Newton, Sagan, Copernicus, Galileo, Pasteur, Currie, Napoleon, Charlemagne and even Caesar. These people and others weren't just leaders or generals or politicians, sages, seers or popular figures. Their most important trait was deep thinking, which set them apart from most of the rest of the human race during their lives.
It starts with curiosity. And peeks into existence with a great, pointed, well conceived question. Lacking that you have nothing but a potential for wasting time and effort."
“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.” — William Styron
"Try to learn as much as possible that allows you to predict the future or make the future."
"Another thing Elon said that people are going to underestimate the importance of the ability to correctly predict the future. This is a personal ability I've worked on and am quite good at. Yes, I can hear the obligatory mental strain that produces when read. Not a hard prediction. The fact is that being able to accurately predict is important. "
I was in special operations and had a brilliant teacher who trained us basically to solve any problem. There were 5 parts to it but step 1 blew my mind- and changed the way i solved problems forever. It was “find out the ACTUAL question.”
