Parrots vs. Practitioners

  • True masters of their craft, the 'practitioners,' dedicate years to obsessive practice, driven by passion and curiosity.
  • In contrast, 'parrots' mimic the learnings of others without deep understanding, lacking the foundation for true creativity.
  • Practitioners' deep, iterative engagement with their craft enables them to combine elements in novel ways, much like Fred again, Elon Musk, or Yuval Noah Harari.
  • This depth of understanding allows practitioners to break free from convention and pioneer new approaches, unlike 'parrots' who merely scratch the surface.
