The Futur with Chris Do

INSIGHT

Why So Few Creatives?

  1. 📉 Dwindling Creativity: 98% of 5-year-olds are at a creative genius level, but only 2% of adults are.
  • This drastic drop isn't accidental; it's a systematic result of how we're raised and educated.
  1. 🤨 Creativity Killers: Three factors stifle creativity as we grow:
  • Unquestionable authority
  • Rigid adherence to man-made rules
  • The belief that the end is always visible from the start
  1. 🤔 The Unknown: Children are creative because everything is an unknown to them. Our education and work environments emphasize predictable outcomes, eliminating the need for creative problem-solving.

  2. ✨ The Creative Few: Those who retain their creativity are the ones who, by luck or resistance, manage to hold onto their curiosity and embrace the unknown, rather than fearing it.
