The Theory of Creativity | Duncan Wardle | TEDxAUK
Duncan Wardle believes everyone is creative but that it's getting harder to convince people of that. On the TEDxAUK stage, he talks about the importance of creativity and why it will be the one core human element to compete in a world that is becoming automated faster than we can think.

Absolutely love this talk and everything it stands for... every work place needs to adopt creativity as it will lead to innovation and therefore keep businesses in business. Also it can be great fun. Creativity will be the number one sought after skill of the future!
Yes indeed, we are all creative and to keep it alive we just need the experience “ to swim in a sea of love” - because it is the source of the creative dimension - of being - becoming everything - Love is the source of opening us to have trust and courage to express and be curious, brave and playfull and very alive - Its all about giving and receiving aliveness everywhere And remember there is a creativity that is about joy of being alive - love and light
Brilliant! It's true. The opposite of bravery is truly conformity TOP
Amazing engagement! I watched this the fifth time just now .... and I know I will watch it again - soon :). Great insights Duncan. thanks v much.
Butterflies in our stomachs everyday. Great talk Duncan. Hope to see you some day soon.
Great Talk! Playfulness can be brought back in adults by just initiating some simple activities or games between family members or by ourselves, to begin with. “You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.”-Plato

MAXIMUM creativity can't exist as long as it's done for survival.
Look, all creative invention came from north with an unforotunate geographic condition to survive
I legit get my best ideas while I'm on the toilet!! second place, in the shower. Wow
Imagine applying this to finding solutions to pandemics and climate change rather than making profit from exploiting people....
And you don’t think Covid was an opportunity to extort people? This is the greatest ironies I’ve seen in ages. You just run the internet for arrogance and naivety all rolled into one. smh Absolutely ponderous.
Lo podrían traducir a español por favor
LOL, At Work was actually my answer to creative ideas! LMAO.
About "The Light": " "I," was created by the thought of Gods and "Their," desire to allow all mortals to know that "They," are always with them: As humankind grows and seeks absolute independence from "Them," "They," will remain by their side, guiding them and directing them, in their growth to absolute "WISDOM," the way to "Their Essence" and the Elysium Fields. As you look out beyond the now, into the heavens, "I" will be there, guiding you and helping you know that "I," be visible or invisible, "My Essence," will guide you beyond all that is sensed in your reality. So, let it be now revealed to you that both "I" and "He," in mortal being, who speaks to you through the thoughts of children are but one. " Eleusis. Let The Light within you guide you to the Elysian Fields entrance; your inner beauty is expected. Follow me, "Imagination is the way." by ELias Leousis.
Beautiful

I like it
This didn’t age well. Speaker is talking about Disney parks that are built around improving the guest experience.
Feels good to say everybody is creative but they are not. Perhaps this guys definition and mine are different though.
You don't give yourself enough credit! Have you ever solved a problem around your home using a tangible or intangible tool that was not meant for that purpose -- that's creativity. There are many different definitions for creativity in the literature, however, the one that seems to percolate more than others is doing something that is novel or new has some usefulness or purpose. Whether it's writing a song, developing an app, or designing a tool -- all are creative endeavours. Creativity is part of the human DNA, how far or much we care to develop it is our choice, but we all have it.
TEDxAUK = American University of Kuwait
What if I want to be creative and I show up at work in pajamas? My boss asks "Why are you wearing pajamas? Those are unprofessional and against basic decency or etiquette" And I say, "It's creative! Pajamas make me feel more comfortable at work! Nevermind the decency." "I'm sorry, it's indecent and makes our work environment too comfortable and informal." If everyone is non-conformist, then where do the rules go? Creativity must have limits. We shouldn't be afraid of creativity and the change it can bring, but conformity is important to some extent.
Chaos and style of presentation lost me, what is it all about. Some shining ideas, but overall not my cup of coffee or waist of time.
this hqs absolutely nothingto do with the topic title
Haha, around 11:54 he accidentally almost said "how might?" another good question in creativity. I wonder how many caught that.
Created by what? He said absolutely nothing, complete gibberish!
The first remark, you are addressing a Muslim audience, and the first thing that came to my mind is when he asked them about their Christmas souvenirs, which they never had. I think he either was thrown into an unknown audience which I doubt because it looks like in one of the Muslim countries, or the presenter forgot to think about his audience.
Instead of getting something out of this talk, you quickly found a way to shut it down. Why bother watching creative talks?
