The Myth of Doing It Alone
We often hear stories about the great minds of history: the
inventors, artists, philosophers, and writers who seemed to move the world
forward by the power of their genius. But the truth, when you look a little
closer, is that no one ever did it alone.
Behind every “self-made” success, there were quiet conversations, secretaries
who typed pages of notes, editors who coaxed rough thoughts into clarity, and
wives or friends who believed when no one else did. Greatness has always been a
form of collaboration, a shared space where one person’s vision meets another’s
support.
That’s how I see artificial intelligence today. Some say it will make us lazy
or dependent, but I don’t believe that. I think it is simply the modern version
of a long tradition: a thinking partner, a listener, and a way to explore ideas
more deeply. It does not replace creativity; it expands it.
The spark still comes from within us—the curiosity, the values, the
discernment, the taste. The tool only gives us a way to see it more clearly and
to shape it more beautifully.
In the end, even collaboration is an inner act, the gathering of many voices
into one clear thought.
