Creativity is connecting dots. The more interesting, distantly related dots you can connect, the more creative you are.

This video is a fantastic collection of buzzwords. It would make a management consultant in the 90s very proud. When you say change the world what do you mean? When you say creativity what do you mean? Usually, Big Think has more substance!

I hadn't seen your remarks when I wrote my distinctly Eeyore-ish piece in which I effectively caution of the high likelihood of a)the expense of funding "creatives" b)the money spent on funding them being a waste, whether due to a project being pure personal vanity and wholly valueless to the wider community or (c) the simple abuse funding for creativity is open to d) that people are encouraged into areas just because they're easier than the STEM and other traditionally hard subjects and e) where vapid and meandering thought is the very most thinking involved - leading to the danger of the development of entitled people steeped in their own opinions, guided hardly at all by objective fact - while being quite close geographically and spiritually to some of the largest international conflagrations of the 21st Century with not mere ripples of potential world consequences arising, but bloody great stormy breakers - in any case, I seem to be casting a similarly rheumy side eye as you, at the content within this video.....

@@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311 I don’t dispute that there may be social value in the programs discussed in this video but they are not evidently the result of creativity. In fact, I don’t see creativity at all here. I see signs and symbols of creativity - which is to say, clichés, the mirror opposite of the much sought after social value here - being reproduced over and over. Just as every frizzy white-haired and disheveled university professor is not Albert Einstein, imitation is never anything but a reference to the ‘real deal’ and that is almost always unrecognizable at first glance.

Art is not entitled to make change just by the virtue of being called art. Great art changes the world by itself, whether the world likes it or not. Concentrating on "bringing change to the world" will inevitably destroy the attempt at the art in the process, as you can already see in the bureaucracy-speak of "creativity pioneers". Also, conveyor-made art just doesn't work. You don't need a lobby, you need a club.

On a certain level, we have art in our brain, the neurochemicals that show up in flow: so dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, endorphins, and serotonin. If you were to try to cocktail the street drug version of that, right, you're trying to blend like heroin and speed and coke and acid and weed- and point is, you can't do it. It turns out the brain can cocktail all of 'em at once, which is why people will prefer flow to almost any experience on Earth. It's our favorite experience. It's the most addictive experience on Earth. Why? 'Cause it cocktails five or six of the largest pleasure drugs the brain can produce. We're all capable of so much more than we know. That is a commonality across the board. And one of the big reasons is we're all hardwired for flow, and flow is a massive amplification of what's possible for ourselves.

This is so beautiful, I wish the excellent rises, I deeply resent the marginalization of the better in their own space or field, excellent anomaly is fought back by their communities, you can't fight a scared and thereby hating stampede as a tiny minority, but it is minorities that bring change, it is a fact that the many are maintainers more than changers, history blares this so clearly if you dig into it a bit you know it

Actually, just look around, the many stagnate and often regard change as fiction or childish dreams. Did people ever think humans will fly above seas on comfortable seats in the past? And reach territories around the globe in a few days or weeks? It's equivalent to fiction, but not precisely, idealism requires some fiction, but it is the idealist's aspiration to render their imagination a reality, so they are tempted to sharpen their intelligence and find pragmatic solutions to sub-questions

The ideals and goals are great and, while I know it's easy to denigrate from the sides, I worry about the implementation in practice. Again, I am aware it's insidious to "rank the value" of different general areas and individual projects - they work joined up together - yet we also have to be really aware of the realities of what we're actually working with. For example, we can't all be Supreme Court Justices in South Africa - and neither should we try to force black lesbian feminist ecowarrior superheroes on the world. When we consider the decades long active struggle of LGB people (and please note the strict 3 letter nomenclature) - in the context of the centuries and even millennial long passive resistance to "the norms" I think we can recognise the righting of a clear and manifest injustice. My concern then becomes that others jump on the same bandwagon, co opt the driving legal (and moral) principles and steer the vehicle at breakneck speed, swerving through the crowds which are forced to scatter in shock and fear. No one has GREATER rights than anyone else and yet here we are with people - even the most sincere and authentic among them - now in many cases, seemingly turning the natural order on its head. I certainly intend that in no old fashioned Judeo-Christian sense - but, as with the gays, it seems to me to be manifestly correct that women have equal opportunity to pursue any path in life they want in the same way men do. Thus, there is no reason why today, a man should not stay home looking after children while his wife goes out to work. But what cannot be avoided HOWEVER you come at it, is that it is the women who are required at the very least to carry and give birth to babies, even if their conception can nowadays be achieved in a lab. That is the natural order to which I refer - in the same way that while there ARE two sexes in general, there are also even physically and fundamentally (thus leaving the psychological asides for now) a surprising array of variations on this ranging from slightly unusual genitals meaning sex is less than as clear as it usually is ( but where the person is unequivocally male or female, genetically), through a range of chromosomal disorders right affecting hormone balance, fertility, psychology, features, life expectancy etc and which create significant variation on the physical realities of being male or female - right up to the total mess (meant in an unreservedly non perjorative way) where even at the most fundamental level, it is in effect literally impossible to meaningfully apply a male/female label. Nevertheless, such cases are vanishingly rate with perhaps only a couple of people living with such an extreme case on the entire surface of the globe at any one time. Thus of course they must be treated with particular sensitivity. Unfortunately, however - when "creativity" runs wild and is allowed to steer the vehicle, rather than being a mere component of its engine (if an important one, like the pistons). Thus, we now find ourselves in a dystopia of heterosexual men who may, or may not, have a fetish about getting up in drag - and who are insisting on "their rights" to enter women's changing rooms. I heard an interview by Andrew Gold of Peter Tatchell - someone who I have great respect for - yet was disappointed to hear him support "trans rights" manifestly over those of women. They fought hard to obtain their own spaces where they're at their most vulnerable - public loos and changing rooms - which fact is being run over roughshod, by some men who say they identify as women (and who, while we should tend to believe and sympathise with individuals, may be being more or less than truthful). Mr Tatchell maintains that the incidence of this is so minuscule as to render it effectively irrelevant. And perhaps I might agree if the statistics were guaranteed to stay the same for ever. But while it is not within the power of even the parents of individuals born with an extremely unusual genetic malformation - let alone the individual themselves - to control the way they're born; there most definitely IS a high degree of choice open to functioning adult males who decide that becoming trans may well make achieving certain unsavoury aims - hitherto somewhat unlikely - eminently feasible. Given the powerful forces which drive human nature, it is a given that many - MANY (in reality, most - indeed virtually all) of us will do something which even if without lasting consequence, could very easily have been otherwise. Perhaps more relevant, however, are the still very high proportions of us who will exhibit lower levels of more generalised fecklessness and lack of self control - but (much) more often. It is therefore a mathematical certainty, that regardless of the (inevitably under reported) current statistics, the incidence of men using a rather specific and perhaps extreme, avenue as an unconventional short cut to fulfilling their dastardly aims. Furthermore, as the stigma of being trans diminished, again the statistical likelihood makes it a dead cert that other insincere actors will follow suit - thus disproportionately increasing the danger (both perceived and real) to biological women. Over even the medium term, never mind the long, I must refute Mr Tatchell - along with the suggestion that "all creativity is good" and that the pursuit of which will amount to anything more than a complete waste of time and, clearly of equal import, money. In the latter case, moreover, you can be all but assured that that money is government (and therefore taxpayers') money meaning whichever provincial interpretive dance theatre troupe for the differently abled in receipt of it, is inadvertently reducing that which is left over to spend on Health, Education and the roads, for example. That's not to say money SHOULDN'T go to unusual or "zany" individuals or groups - because we recognise that while major breakthroughs and paradigm changes do occur, it's mostly small "accidental" variations which imperceptibly lead the way. By all means, let the dusky Sapphics with supernatural powers romp across the page, impaling the Patriarchy wherever they find it with their terrifying 12 inch stiletto heels (as flatties - or fluffy mules - just wouldn't work, would they?) but while they're doing that let us hope that sufficient of leaders - whether of the pat- or mat-riarchy - actually in the world (rather than a parallel universe) are left with sufficient resources to prevent hordes of Chinese soldiers marching across the Steppe as the Golden Hordes did centuries ago. If they did, it would suggest that the UK (further undermined by decades of reparations paid to the cynical and grasping descendants of a relative of theirs whose unfortunate life ended 300 years ago.....) - unlike in May of 1940 where we were the then-sole remaining bulwark against total fascism the world had left and didn't much worry what the gender of our AirForce pilots were - so long that they were male, of course - and neither was it very likely any serviceman was prevented from using such terminology as Kraut or Hun as descriptors of their enemies. That's not to say we should actively seek to continued our forebears' bad habits, but perhaps the most important thing is to continue with and build upon the good ones although there's no reason why both can't be achieved. And it's the same with the implication that "creativity" is somehow a synonym for "wokism". That is far from true - in theory. Yet I worry again that creativity can foster wokism - or even morph into it. So all I'm saying is that the possibilities of that are at least monitored - clearly the goal is not to stifle the creativity simply to avoid the potential of unintended consequences which, after all, in some ways are the very things INTENDED! In any case, creativity is not limited to the Arts - penicillin was I acknowledge by the way that as someone probably not very creative, I may just be incapable of the imagination required to envision what is being advocated by this film - equally, perhaps it's also valid in the face of whatever that something is, that someone fairly grim and unexciting - who isn't an experimental theatre student or climate activist - advocates not for the suppression of creativity, of course, but at least for being hard nosed and rheumy eyed about the fact there are direct and indirect costs involved, that it's very individual/subjective (that someone's magnum opus on the best technique for standing on a stage and making like a wind-blown tree - is another's garbage) and that "the creative" accepts their creativity doesnt necessarily equate to talent. Subjecting creativity to objective testing may not seem in and of itself to be all that creative but I maintain it's a relevant part of it otherwise we'd all just fiddle around in a random, unstructured and aimless way, likely achieving little, if anything either of immediate practical use; or of the discovery or development of something that turns out to have utility in the future.
