FILE B-15
FILE 1: THE AI THREAT LANDSCAPE
- AI scales sameness - faster, slicker, safer.
- But when everything becomes predictable, nothing stands out.
- Progress belongs to the pattern-breakers.
The future is written by peoplewho delete templates.
FILE 2: THE SCIENCE EVIDENCE
- Predictive Processing: surprise drives learning.
- Dopamine Response: novelty = attention.
- Creative Recombination: invention = rule-breaking.
DECLASSIFIED EVIDENCE FILE - How Your Brain Is Wired: An Owner’s Manual
“An advertising campaign made for Apple in 1997 by the LA offices of TBWA\CHIAT\Day was called ‘Think Different.’ It is a magnificent salute to those who have gone their own way regardless of the herd and a great call to action for the rest of us:
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify them, or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world…are the ones who do.” (p. 179)
“Before asking yourself to confirm why you’re right, try looking for reasons why you may not necessarily be as right as you think you are—why, in fact, you might be wrong.” (p. 85)
“Our brains look for patterns, and every decision we make is made in a context.” (p. 15)
FILE 3: THE HUMAN EDGE OVER AI
- Pattern-breaking is the neural root of creativity.
- Prediction stabilises; provocation scales growth.
FILE 4: INTELLIGENCE AND SKILL SETS GAINED
- Build innovation through disruption.
- Reframe mistakes as micro-experiments.
- Turns rebellion into renewal.
