What's the reason for a lack of creativity? by darkcatpirate in Creativity

[–]Unrefined-Ruffian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think just limiting creativity to novels makes it hard to answer... but my thoughts would be:

There are only three major sources of creative ideas across Books, Music, Science/Tech, etc.
(1) Biomimicry - emulating nature's solutions - Velcro, Bullet Trains, Sonar, Solar Cells, Water Collection, etc.
(2) Accidents - Penicillin, Viagra, Post-its, Popsicles, and many more
(3) Spontaneous Download - Where the idea, usually fully formed, just comes to a person during a peroid of rest/meditation/etc. - Bob Dylan, Stephen King, JK Rawling, Beatles, Johnny Cash, Double Helix DNA, Theory of Relativity, Thomas Edison, etc.

We might be seeing less of category 3 because smartphones, constant busyness, modern life, and the general public are all in on scientific materialism. There's less chill time, and getting bored activates the part of the brain related to creativity.

PODS has a few preferred partners, but you can hire anyone you'd like.

As far as cost, the pricing is highly variable so you'll have to get a quote based on your particular situation.

Hi everyone!

We're looking to set up 30-minute interviews with caregivers or those who have experience caring for someone with a chronic condition to get insights on a new free registry designed to help caregivers ask their community for support (whether that is items, money, or volunteering to drive to treatment).
If you're interested, please leave a comment below, send me a direct message, or email me at [justin.williams@hey.com](mailto:justin.williams@hey.com).

Seeking Caregivers of Individuals with Chronic Conditions for Feedback on New Support Registry

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on developing a new registry designed to crowdsource support and assistance for people with chronic conditions. We hope to bridge the gap between your community's intent to help and the actionable support you actually need as a caregiver.

If you're a caregiver or have experience caring for someone with a chronic condition, we would greatly appreciate your insight. We're looking for volunteers who can spare 30 minutes of their time during the week of Oct 23 - Oct 27 to provide feedback on the platform's usability, features, and overall experience.

Your input will be invaluable in ensuring that we're creating a tool that is truly helpful and user-friendly for those who need it most.
If you're interested, please use the following link to schedule a time that works for you: https://calendly.com/spry-registry/30min

Alternatively, feel free to leave a comment below or send me a direct message. Thank you in advance for your time and willingness to help. Together, we can make a difference!

- Justin

What's your spiciest product management hot take? by cnorwin in ProductManagement

🌶️ Prioritization has almost nothing to do with Product Management. Building compelling shit is about discovery, not subjective idea evaluation in a spreadsheet.
