Art, Design, Aesthetics, Culture, and Philosophy
Creativity and Innovation in Action
There’s a lot of talk about innovation, design, creativity and community in San Diego (and elsewhere). In the five years I’ve lived here I haven’t worked with a culture and community of people better demonstrating how to do and live those things. They make stuff and they stuff happen. With limited financial resources and a lot of ingenuity. No one else even comes close.
“Creativity is like poetry, and everyone fucking hates poetry.”
NYTimes: We Have a Creativity Problem
Outwardly, we praise innovation. Inwardly, we harbor a visceral aversion to it, studies have found.
“People actually have strong associations between the concept of creativity and other negative associations like vomit and poison,”… “Agony was another one.”
