AfzalNFT: Not For Trade
NFT might die as a trade but will live as a tech. Recently Rolling Stone published an article about how NFTs are dead sparking a debate, so I thought this might be the right time to write about a topic that I wanted to talk about for some time which is how the majority of the people who aren’t from the NFT space have this perception about NFT which is not very much true. To be literal an NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token and the definition is: A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique digital id...

AfzalGrowth - Random vs Compound
What people call success is sometimes randomness and often times a compound of failures.There are two types of growth, one that lasts and the other that fades. Compound is the one that lasts and random is the one that fades. If we zoom out the whole world is nothing but randomness and probability. So what exactly is the random vs compound growth I’m talking about? To dig further let’s proceed with a vague example: There are two businessmen in the same business, Businessman A has been in the b...

Original craft is a remix of inspiration. Innovative craft is a remix of intuition and inspiration.
This visual above might give you an idea of what I’m trying to say, yet allow me to delve deeper into the explanation. Whatever your original creation is, it is a remix of existing ideas or concepts, whether you are consciously aware of this or not. But when people say something is an innovation and completely new it means that craft is an unconventional remix or the craftsman has added an intuitive touch.
Intuition plays a huge role in innovation, But what precisely is intuition? This concept varies among individuals; for some, it resides within the depths of the subconscious mind, while for others, it is a guiding godly inner voice.
Intuition is not statistical and objective it is emotional and subjective but the thing is it knows you, it can be wrong but not dishonest. You shouldn’t make objective decisions solely on intuition, Daniel Kahneman shares some great insights on making decisions with intuition in the book Thinking, Fast and Slow which I highly recommend reading.
Let’s return to the core theme of this essay, as I said your intuition knows you and won’t be dishonest with you listening to the intuition is how you add your innate gift to the craft, so when you are creating or tinkering and you find yourself where your intuition is saying to break a rule or not to be conventional try doing it who knows you might end up with an unconventional remix or innovation. This was my perspective on innovation coming from intuition.
Thank you!
