Creativity and resulting innovation has always been our survival strategy. Creativity pulled us through ice ages, plagues, wars, and crises... fire, farming, flight... the microchip. Every breakthrough, including the advances in artificial intelligence we ar witnessing and experiencing today were born from the creative spark to imagine differently, then act.
But here’s the uneasy truth: Our role as sole authors of the future may be fading.
We celebrate creativity as the spark behind innovation, progress, and human achievement. But let’s be honest... it doesn’t always flow freely. We all too often find ourselves blocked, stuck, or silencing our own ideas before they ever leave the page. Why? Because creativity has enemies. And they’re sneaky!
