Pushing On The Frontiers ~ Disruptive Creativity
While disruption is usually viewed as negative, if there is stagnation, in a life-style, philosophy, or global agenda, being disruptive may be the only thing that can shake out enough attention to provide a platform for change.
Whether you're here because you see yourself primarily as a reader, writer, or publisher (or, all three), I offer the video in this post as a chance to cross a few frontiers and possibly pick up a few cues to future creativity…
There's a group called Learning Without Frontiers that says of itself: [LWF is] "…a global platform for thinkers and practitioners from the education, digital media, technology, and entertainment sectors to explore how affordable disruptive technologies are radically improving learning and equality of access."
Part of my interest in this group is because I had one hell of a time staying in school–I hated the kind of "education" handed to me but I've always loved learning…
So, if you can relate at all to that last statement, you may want to visit LWF's site and look around.
There was a man named Malcolm McLaren who gave a talk at a conference sponsored by LWF in 2009. Here's the blurb for the talk: "How does one find authentic creativity? In his last talk before passing away, Malcolm McLaren tells remarkable stories from his own life, from failing school to managing the Sex Pistols. He argues that we're living in a karaoke culture, with false promises of instant success, and that messiness and failure are the key to true learning."
If that sounds at all interesting, I'd recommend setting aside a bit of time to listen to his talk. And, if for nothing else, you can watch it solely because it's an amazing Story :-)
