I basically completely disagree with everything in this article. And the article provides scant evidence to support its (to me) extremely controversial framing of the world.
To start with, I think it's complete bullshit that most work doesn't require independent mindedness, or creativity. Or that most work is uncreative.
Second, I strongly question the assertion that independent mindedness is innate in any sense. I don't believe there's any strong evidence to support this statement, and believing it leads to some pretty dangerous attitudes to the world and other people.
Thirdly, and somewhat illustrative of my previous point, I am quite repulsed by the suggestion that most people think they're free thinkers but aren't. How the hell do you know and who are you to day?
I'm not interested in that obnoxious arrogance.
Yuck
