The average researcher is more driven by curiosity and avoids risks during learning while
the average founder enjoys solving problems efficiently at the sacrifice of fundamental knowledge.
However, 99th-percentile researchers understand important problems and can frame their research
in addition to walking between curiosity and certainty.
Research needs playful exploration, not just speedrunning.
“Back in 1954 when Calabi published his conjecture, I
was just five years old—a hungry boy growing up in Hong Kong. Sixteen years later, as I sat in a Berkeley lecture hall, I was still hungry… to devour mathematics.”
