Tell me something I don't know

They say, a known devil is better than an unknown one. In my experience, that's an outdated concept. If you're going to keep going to, and with, the ideas/people you know of and are comfortable with, you're not going to come away with much more than what you have. If you want to do path-breaking stuff, you've got to get away from the experienced. Just because somebody hasn't done it before, doesn't mean the person can't do it. Just because something hasn't been done before doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. If our predecessors kept doing what they knew of, we wouldn't have come this far. Often, the people who have seen a lot have seen too much. Forget about experience. Experience the new. Often.
