Muhammad Umar argues that original ideas are now cheap, so the real competitive edge is asking better questions. He points to Sheldon Cooper, based on Nobel-winning physicist Sheldon Glashow, as an example of how great scientists have always known the right question drives innovation.

Everyone. So idea would be a true commodity. I mean historically we know that people has said this a lot that ideas are nothing, execution is everything. I think it would now it would flip. So I saw one of the tweet like if ideas anything and execution is everything, why come we have so many few ideas? So now the true to be able to question, to be able to, to come up with truly original ideas are the other things that matter. And how come, how do we have the, how can we have the truly original ideas? I don't know if you know, there's a, there's a series Big Bang Theory, there's a Sheldon Cooper. You know, Sheldon Cooper is inspired from a real time theoretical physicist, Sheldon Glashow. So he talked about. He's alive. He is. He was a guy who won the Nobel Prize in 1979 with Dr. Abdusala. So Sheldon Glosser talks a lot about what's a real thing and he talks a lot. Asking a question would never be this important than now because really your performance would be like what question? The quality of your question would be the single most important thing. No matter. Physicists knew this 200 years back. I mean every brilliant guy knows this, right? But somehow now asking a question would be of fundamental value. And if you ask a profound question that would give rise to truly original ideas, I guess.
