"A peculiarly American, maybe Western, mythology of individual achievement — We think of the automobile as invented by Henry Ford, the lightbulb by Edison... it's vastly more complicated. There really have been dialogues, and conversations, and collective learnings that made possible all these breakthroughs. So we basically have created a kind of false narrative of solitary individual achievement." - Rufus Griscom, The Next Big Idea: Extended Mind episode [1:05:50-1:06:16]
