If you’re interested in the idea of minimalistic art, here’s a short piece in Vox about all-white paintings. To me, the value of these is subtler and deeper than is indicated in the article, but it’s an interesting staring point: https://www.openculture.com/2019/01/the-artistry-behind-an-all-white-painting.html For more on the book Future Rising: A Journey from the Past to the Edge of Tomorrow, check out http://futurerisingbook.comWe...2022-01-0305 minFuture RisingCreativity – The New InnovationIn this episode, how our creativity enables to build bridges toward the future we aspire to.

This episode is different – it’s a lot longer for a start. As we’re currently in between seasons, I thought I’d post a bonus episode that captures some of the thinking and reasoning behind the book and the podcast.This episode is based on a TEDx talk that was scheduled to take place in early 2020, but was cancelled due to COVID.

There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.” It is, admittedly, a bit of a trivial link, but it does illuminate the difference between being passive versus active participants in crafting the future. It’s also a subtle nod to my previous book Films from the Future, which expl...2021-06-1605 minFuture RisingLearning – Moving Beyond InstinctIn today’s episode of Future Rising we look at how learning allows us to move beyond instinct as we navigate the future.Today’s podcast mentions the British scientist Michael Faraday.
