Yea, I guess I agree with the concept of letting people do their own thing but is it really that groundbreaking? Perhaps because I live in an age where Wikipedia exists and tons of people write ridiculously long code because they enjoy it, I don’t find the concept insane. I’m not surprised by the idea of people doing what they enjoy and getting work done because they want to. You have YouTubers putting up videos because they enjoy the process, and even they are willing to admit that they become less inclined to post anything when it starts feeling like they have to. I get that way with everything. Sure I don’t mind the idea of, say, parodying a song about a book, but with a due date I become reluctant to start working on it. (This is just an example, I love my Of Mice and Men/Blank Space parody. It’s great) Something about being told to do something makes it seem nearly laborious. I hate clutter and love organizing, but it will take 4 hours longer if you tell me I need to clean my room or something. My point is, while I totally agree with the guy, I’m not sure his point is as groundbreaking as he thought. Whatever. More importantly is what we are going to do with it. Truth is, it’s probably going to stay an idea with a couple of examples of success. Just like the idea of changing the school system, people are always going to be too afraid of it. Maybe that’s not so bad though, it provides the constant aspiration to change while never actually making said change. It’s a good way to feel productive.
