Medici effect

“This is not to say that younger people are more creative. However, younger people
are often less constrained by their education within a field since they
have not yet had too much of it. It would follow, then, that learning a
new field, whether one is young or old, can help break down associative
barriers. Thomas Kuhn points out in his seminal book The Structure of
Scientific Revolutionsthat “almost always the men who achieve . . . fun-
damental inventions of a new paradigm have been either very young or
very new to the field whose paradigm they change.” pg 52

I go back to this text because I find it interesting that great shifts and ideas happen not within the field that you are a master of- but when you are very new to a field. Something to ponder as we trek forward.
