Getting knowledge on a wide variety of things is an underrated brain hack.
The more you know, the more dots you see. The more dots you see, the more patterns you can form. The more patterns you can form, the more art you can create.
Every new discipline you add follows Metcalfe’s Law—exponentially increasing the quality & capacity of your thinking.
If you want a shortcut to getting smarter and unlocking new ideas, just go read up on or watch something you know nothing about.
Could be anything - Fusion reactors, the history of Colombia, Why We Sleep, what is aatman, Key & Peele or even the latest gossip.
Think about it - if you know that bollywwod is facing a massive sourcing talent issue for good writers and directors and also what @ycombinator is; only then can you think of building a YC for Bollywood films!
All knowledge connects eventually leading to new ideas and insights.
Each new node strengthens your mind exponentially.
