𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗦𝗰𝗶-𝗙𝗶 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀 Palmer Luckey, the founder of Oculus, made a surprising discovery: 𝐍𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥. Every time he thought he had a breakthrough, he found that a sci-fi author had already imagined it—sometimes decades earlier. And that’s the secret. Science fiction authors don’t wait for technology to catch up. They dream freely, unshackled by what’s possible today. Take Luckey’s work in AR/VR for soldiers. It feels cutting-edge now, but Starship Troopers described it in 𝟏𝟗𝟓𝟗. Autonomous fighter jets? People imagined them 𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨. This pattern repeats across industries: 𝐙𝐨𝐨𝐦? Sci-fi predicted video calls before they existed. 𝐒𝐢𝐫𝐢? Voice assistants appeared in Star Trek first. 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐥𝐚? Electric cars were sci-fi long before Elon. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧? 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝—𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝. If you’re stuck, don’t try to force inspiration. Go back and 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Find ideas that were too early when they were written. Technology has caught up—now they’re just waiting for someone like you to build them. The future has already been imagined. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐣𝐨𝐛 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞. I hope you've found this helpful.
