20. Convenience Culture is Killing Our Creative Impulses

Sometimes the thing you desire is actually an obstacle to your flourishing (watch the full episode on youtube). Reaching for convenience is understanding and often necessary. It often satiates our desire for answers and quick solutions. But it's becoming an obstacle to all of our flourishing. Today, we have to talk about how an addiction to convenience is killing our creative impulses. The algorithm is constantly serving up answers and interests on a silver platter. It's convenient. And it's eroding our ability to exercise autonomy, surprise ourselves, and live in the tension of creation. Tune in for a little exercise I'm going to be doing in the coming days to combat this issue. And join me if you feel so inclined!
