Without semantics, the Web is turning into a wonderful wonderland for entertainment, but less and less a productive space for solving the real problems being faced by people, companies and governments in today’s increasingly complex world.

How do you use your brain cycles?

rodp:

As you might have noticed, most of the successful people in the world don’t have an IQ of 200. Then you’ve read tons of blogs, articles and books on the subject of succeeding, all of them preaching that dedication, rather than intellect, is what it takes to be successful. I don’t have a major problem with this theory, but I do know a lot of dedicated people who are not insanely successful.

The most important thing to consider, whilst figuring out why aren’t you successful already, is this: When you do use your brain cycles, how do you use them?

I don’t think most people aren’t dedicated. They are, but to the things that might not lead them to anything new or original. What are you thinking about most of the time? Sports? Boring old job? Partner? Some of these things are surely socially accepted ways of using your brain. However, if you’re not thinking about new ideas too much… well, don’t be surprised if you never get any.

We’re all cannons - it’s just that most of us are shooting flies all day long.

This post, of course, is a self-critique.
