Short YouTube monologue (spoken transcript) arguing that friends' feedback on creative ideas is unreliable because non-expert friends can give false positives (unwarranted encouragement) or false negatives (dismissal from misunderstanding). Advises treating friends' opinions as free but low-value advice.
Stop trusting your friends. Here's why. Whenever you present a new creative idea to your friends, you're gonna get one of two things. A false positive. So this is when they encourage you in whatever you're doing and they tell you it's a good idea or a false negative. This is when they tear the idea down simply because they don't understand it. Truth is, your idea might be really good or it might be really bad. If your friends aren't experts, they don't even know the difference. So you can ask their opinion, but always remember, it's free advice and it's worth every cent you paid for.
