Credentials don’t matter

·Nov 3, 2024

Smart people, capable people, don't let themselves be pigeonholed into one definition. That is a disease of credentialism. Because we created this university, now you've got to go to university, and you've got to get a degree in something. Then people say, "Well, what is your expertise? What is your credential?" That's a question dumb people ask.

Smart people don't ask that. Smart people don't need to know your credentials; they just talk to you for five minutes, and they figure out if you know what you're talking about or not. A really good person, a so-called natural philosopher, can be good in any branch of anything. Nature has no boundaries.

Nature has no concept—mathematics versus physics versus chemistry. It is all one thing. And you know, to anyone who's either meditated, or done psychedelics, or read enough books, they've figured that out. It's all one thing. When you find one thing, it connects to the next thing, connects to the next thing, connects to the next thing. True creativity jumps boundaries. It can go from anywhere to anywhere; it doesn't have to follow a path of interconnections in between.
