Clive Thompson on Finding Genius
January 6, 2009
Last month, at the December Lecture series, “The Interviewers,” Clive Thompson spoke on how to find genius in an interview.
“If you want to learn, you can’t study the object, that will tell you nothing. What you need to find out is all the things that didn’t work.
You need to see the prototypes that are shitty that didn’t work, the horrible stuff that made no sense at all and you need it lined up chronologically, and then, you can see genius emerging.”
Upcoming events include:
- January 14, 2009, 6:30PM The Urbanists
- February 18, 2009, 6:30PM The Modularists
