What are creative collisions?

Creative collisions involve bringing together people with different motivations and perspectives to generate new ideas or solutions. According to Andrew Huberman, this process entails forcing collaboration between individuals who hold diverse motivations. These interactions can be antagonistic (arguments, disagreements) or synergistic (cooperative efforts), but they always involve a crossing of ideas that produces something new.

Huberman describes this as essential for any creative endeavor. To foster creativity, it's important to think beyond familiar frameworks and use elements that already exist within us. This approach is likened to how children think—having new or novel ideas about the world that are still bounded by some constraints to avoid creating pure chaos 1.
