托马斯·图尔

图尔认为拥有无限资源会消解创作的杠杆与摩擦点，适度的约束和压力才是催生天才之作的必要条件。

“"I think if you have that focus and you feel like I have unlimited resources... there's really no leverage in the situation... That doesn't create any friction points that I think do result in works of genius." —— "我认为，如果你专注于某个问题，却觉得自己拥有无限资源……那么 situation 里就没有任何杠杆……这不会产生我认为能催生天才之作的那种摩擦点。"”

图尔认为人类体验会因与其他生命体的互动而极大丰富，机器人、AI与人类建立类似宠物或朋友般的"关系"是下一个颠覆性前沿。

“"I really believe that there is some aspect of the human experience that is deeply enriched by interacting with other beings." —— "我真心相信，人类体验的某些方面会因与其他生命体的互动而得到极大的丰富。"”

图尔认为成就是原始天赋与刻苦付出的结合，人们渴望的魔术般的捷径大多并不存在。

“"The combination of raw talent and the ability... and he puts the work in. And that's one thing that I think a lot of people miss sometimes where they want that magic trick, they want to know what's the shortcut. Most of the time, the answer is there's no shortcut." —— "这是原始天赋与能力的结合……而且他付出了努力。我认为很多人”

图尔提醒看清目标不等于接近目标，清晰的视野并不意味着距离很短，达成远大目标仍需长期投入。

“"Never mistake clear line of sight with distance." —— "切勿将清晰的视野与遥远的距离混为一谈。"”

图尔认为人们正身处日后会被铭记的时刻，而真正被记住的往往是最简单的事物。

“"We are in the thing that we'll remember. And sometimes the things we'll remember is the simple stuff." —— "我们正身处未来会回忆起的此刻。而有时，我们会记住的恰恰是那些简单的事物。"”
