Even the galaxy far, far away runs on curiosity #TEDTalks

A lot of the things we invent at Industrial Light and Magic and inside of Lucasfilm um are as a result of a person or a team getting curious about whether something will work — and our hunches in that area. I mean, of course, they're informed hunches because this is coming from experts, but the areas to explore are almost always as a result of someone saying, I think there's either a better way or this person needs to do this impossible thing. — Um and we've got to come up with some way of doing it. So getting having that intense curiosity to want to chase those things down because it's always inconvenient, right? There's never enough time. There's always risk that it's not going to work. But that's one of the things that I think people in general who get who are attracted to this company to work. — They come with a lot of curiosity and a little bit of um dissatisfaction of the status quo. You're like status quo is not quite good enough. We can do this better. — That is why our jobs are fun. — Yes. because my job as well as a curator is all about just um running down whatever thing I'm super curious about because someone else will be curious about that. And if it really gets you excited and if it's usually it's a risky proposition like quitting Burning Man in the Smithsonian, I love that. — It really starts to hit that spot in the back of your brain that you're like, why can't I just do this? And you know you get the opportunity to lead that charge.
