"the creative cost of living in an echo chamber"
I've never heard anyone who used this expression offer any evidence or argument to back it up, and this post is no exception.
Till a few months ago I used to live half the time in the Valley and half the time in Boston. I never noticed Boston startups getting any creative boost from not being in the Valley. If anything, it was the opposite: they tended to be constrained by lack of confidence, and by the conservatism of the local investors.
- ivankirigin 17y agoA very smart guy says "ignore everybody" to be creative. Maybe that's harder when there are more people around a lot like you, but not quite. http://www.changethis.com/6.HowToBeCreative http://www.changethis.com/6.HowToBeCreative
- pg 17y agoSounds good in principle, but if you look at the matter empirically, very creative people almost invariably cluster in hubs. Empirically you seem to lose more from being in a backwater than you gain.
