Death of Creativity

A great NY Times piece featured an 18 year old talking about the role of creativity in inspiring scientific minds to solve great problems like climate change.

My colleague, Tom, recently wrote that the recent financial crisis left him somewhat dismayed at our prospects of figuring our way out of this.

I must dissent.

Creativity as a core human characteristic has long helped us reach greater heights.

What I think the financial crisis has pointed out is that we need to rediscover and embrace creativity in our work if we are to find a greater purpose than profit itself.

It’s a difficult goal, but one worth striving for–if only because it may save the world.
