Lateral Action

MARCH 23, 2009

Walking isn't just great exercise, it can exercise the mind and help it wander onto a new creative path.

Lost in Translation isn't about creativity, although its characters include actors, photographers, singers, musicians and other creative types. But creativity is about life.

I'll explain why I find Darwin's own explanation of his creativity more convincing than that given by de Bono. Writing this, it's just struck me that I must be a creativity otaku.

Much of our educational system is an elaborate game of "guess what the teacher is thinking," and we come to believe that the best ideas are in someone else's head rather than our own. Here are six of mine: 1.

The Romans had the same idea but they called that sort of disembodied spirit a 'Genius', which was great because the Romans did not actually think that a genius was a particularly clever individual, they believed that a genius was this sort of magical divine entity who was believed to literally live in the walls of an artist's studio.
