1/ The most influential video I've ever seen remains "inventing on principle," by @worrydream.



A well formed principle guides action through time. Here's Brett's principle attached.

I realized today this is why I'm so interested in Unreal Engine 5.
@worrydream 2/ His specific principle (more on finding your own principle shortly) has given me a new lens to see the world: does this enable human creativity?

Unreal Engine 5 will empower creators in fascinating ways. I love any technology that does so. Look at this image:
@worrydream 3/ First, watch Brett's video starting at [2:34] to see what he means by immediate connection to one's creation.

Then watch this incredible video (h/t @eldsjal) on making The Mandalorian using Unreal Engine (I've linked to the moment of the video I mean)

@worrydream @eldsjal 4/ What is even cooler is that Unreal used to start charging creators above $50k of revenue, but just moved it to $1M.

Like the instant visual feedback in the examples above (which are ways of removing friction for creators), they also removed economic friction.
@worrydream @eldsjal 5/ They've also made it much easier to import externally designed digital visual assets--again to make it easier for creators/developers.

@worrydream @eldsjal 6/ back to Brett's idea of investing on principle.

I love his description in the transcript attached. The principle you adopt should be the result of a long, wide and careful search, and it should provide a clear litmus test for where to spend your time.

Amazing talk
