"Whenever I start to feel particularly worried about emerging cultural and political shifts, I invite inspiring creative innovators to gather and talk things out. Sitting alone, in front of my computer, and questioning a chatbot won't help move me forward. AI can only generate what's already been thought, so as a tool, it's fairly useless in this context. And creative breakthroughs are more likely to happen in social settings."
"You need to come to the discussion table in a mental paradigm of equals, regardless of any hierarchies that may already exist in other contexts; all participants must be in a constant state of engagement, listening with the same intensity as speaking, ready to get challenged and confronted, and not allowed to stay passive; and, perhaps most importantly, creative discussions must be built on the language of friendship."
Creative breakthroughs occur more often in social settings rather than in isolation. AI can generate content but cannot create genuinely new ideas beyond existing thought. Effective co-creation requires participants to adopt a mental paradigm of equals, maintain constant engagement, listen as intensely as they speak, accept challenge, avoid passivity, and use the language of friendship. Creativity emerges by assembling collaborators to absorb reality, talk honestly about failures, and follow emergent directions. Embodied cognition links body and mind through neuroanatomical mechanisms. Friction and honest confrontation are critical to producing moments of discovery.
