why greatness cannot be planned

view markdown


I had the wonderful opportunity to be invited as a guest speaker at the inaugural seminar at the University of Cape Town AI Society. I shared my thoughts on the pursuit of novelty and creativity, and its link to education, heavily inspired by the works of Kenneth Stanley* , Joel Lehman* and the late Sir Ken Robinson.

* The title of the work is inspired by KS & JL’s book “Why Greatness Cannot be Planned: The Myth of Objective”.
