Astro Teller on moonshot thinking outside Google[x]

“I believe everyone here is a moonshot thinker, in your hearts[…] I believe that most of us are not in a context where we can be as open minded, as honest, as dispassionate when appropriate, as authentic as we want to be, as our natural selves would be. And I think you need to ask your context for that opportunity. And if it’s really not going to give it to you, be humble, try a few times, and if it doesn’t work, go find a new context. You all deserve to be able to let the best part of yourselves out.”
