Think Different.
There’s only two ways to think different:
Be born with a different brain.
Collect unique data to reach unique conclusions.
You only have control over one of these.
Most different ideas come from having access to unique data.
If you only go to school and sit in the same classes as everyone else, you all have the same data…
And the uniqueness of the conclusions you can reach with that data is limited.
You cannot use the same data sources as everyone else to reach different conclusions, seek different data and experiences.
Do what no one else is doing… because it’s too hard, too crazy, socially shunned, etc.
This may or may not be encouragement to do drugs.
Here’s some unique data I collected that I’m public with:
being “homeless” and living out of a backpack
following “strange” diets
going into isolation for long periods of time
Take inspiration from other people’s data, but you must build your data set out yourself.
The most unique data is in secrets no one talks about. Happy hunting.
