5. Creativity is NOT THE SAME as Intelligence

Intelligence
50% -85% Inheritable
Creativity
25% - 40% Inheritable
The world is not limited by IQ.
We are all limited by bravery and creativity

6. Creativity Surpasses Intelligence
… Albert Einstein was a good friend, too. But none of them had a mind as quick and acute as Jansci [John] von Neumann. I have often remarked this in the presence of those men and no one ever disputed me. ... But Einstein's understanding was deeper even than von Neumann's. His mind was both more penetrating and more original than von Neumann's. .... Einstein took an extraordinary pleasure in invention. Two of his greatest inventions are the Special and General Theories of Relativity; and for all of Jansci's brilliance, he never produced anything as original.

11. Prediction: Top 3 Companies in 2020
Google, Facebook & a Malaysian Startup?
http://techcrunch.com/2014/05/05/vc-fred-wilson-in-20-years-apple-wont-be-a-top-3-tech-company-google-and-facebook-will/
Fred Wilson of New York’s Union Square Ventures, one of the top tech investors around, believes that by 2020, the biggest tech company in the world — Apple — will cease to be the most important, and won’t even be in the top three.
Speaking at today’s TC Disrupt conference in NYC, he predicted that the top three tech companies, instead, will be Google, Facebook “and one that we’ve never heard of.”

14. Google Acquires DeepMind for its Graph Experts
(US$400+ Million)
http://deepmind.com/
In 2012, Carnegie Mellon professor Larry Wasserman wrote that the “startup is trying to build a system that thinks. This was the original dream of AI.
As Shane [Legg] explained to me, there has been huge progress in both neuroscience and ML and their goal is to bring these things together.
I thought it sounded crazy until he told me the list of famous billionaires who have invested in the company.”

15. Google Acquires Nest for its Physical Graph
(US$3.2 Billion)
Google's acquisition of Nest .. the buying price of $3.2 billion was much higher than the company's $800 million valuation
… the knowledge graph (what you know), the social graph (who you're friends with) and the interest graph (what you like to do), and the power that data has in aggregate. …
so far no one has made much headway into the physical graph, the pattern that emerges from the movements of individuals and how they interact with physical systems.
"The data is the interesting part in all this," says Thorsten Kramp, who develops Internet of Things technologies for IBM. "An individual device by itself is not so interesting. If you start collating data from different sources, this is big analytics. This is where the value comes in."
By acquiring Nest, Google has instantly become a leader in the connected home space. More important to the company's stated goal of organizing the world's information, it puts Google on the path to learning all it can from people's physical patterns of behavior.
With Nest, Google gets in on the ground floor of the physical graph.
