Alex Karp went on TBPN and said something I haven’t been able to stop thinking about.
He said that Odin came down and changed the world. Now, the people with the usual, safe, credentialed skills are the ones struggling. Meanwhile, neurodivergent people, dyslexics, and those who have always had to find a different path have been quietly preparing their whole lives.
Traits that were once seen as problems, like nonlinear thinking, spotting patterns across different areas, and creating new things when the usual methods didn’t work, are now the most valuable.
Karp’s advice is simple: be more like an artist. See things from a new angle. Create something original.
It’s a bold idea. But it feels different coming from someone who founded one of the most important defense and enterprise technology companies and has openly talked about his own neurodivergence.
