Krapivin made this breakthrough by being unaware of Yao's conjecture.
The developer of Balatro made an award winning deck builder game by not being aware of existing deck builders.
I'm beginning to think that the best way to approach a problem is by either not being aware of or disregarding most of the similar efforts that came before. This makes me kind of sad, because the current world is so interconnected, that we rarely see such novelty with their tendency to "fall in the rut of thought" of those that came before. The internet is great, but it also homogenizes the world of thought, and that kind of sucks.
