“Naïvete allows you to do what the experts say can’t be done.”

GlimmerGContext: Bruce Mau believes that to be able to see a problem with a fresh eye, and to be open to all possibilities, it actually helps to be a naive outsider. It allows you to consider possibilities that “experts” might tend to overlook or dismiss, and to ask the “stupid questions.” Mau adds: “When you don’t know what should be done, or how something is supposed to work, it’s a brief pocket of possibility. You’re free to speculate on something unencumbered by the conventional structures.”
