Business, Innovation, and Managing Life (May 25, 2022)

Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about business, innovation, and managing life as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-business-qa Questions include: Do you think software innovations are stronger with mathematical research tied to them, even for "non-mathematical software"? - Can you say more about your writing process? How much time does it take for you to finish writing a blog post? How do you integrate a bunch of connected ideas into a coherent post? - The way I write is writing a rough draft of the most general ideas, then working to clarify them through more precise prose. - How do you tell a good story within your writing and also when communicating that story, i.e. when telling it to people in real life? - Are you going to publish a collection of open questions in ruliology? - Was Steve Jobs a "wave machine," or did he just have the tremendous luck and skill to ride five or six waves during his career? - What is your opinion on the usefulness of pure philosophy? - Would you separate business ideas and ideas that are curiosity- or discovery-driven, i.e. NKS?
