“In the deterministic world of Newton, there is no history and no creativity. In the living world of dissipative structures, history plays an important role, the future is uncertain, and this #uncertainty is the heart of #creativity.”

Not knowing the bigger ‘why’ can be depressing and cause many students to quit disciplines they might be well-suited for..
(Spoiler : “”Why”” is the answer to the article’s headline)
Challenging Apple & Google’s mono(duo)poly on this might create more room for innovation … More importantly, these actions are increasingly motivated by national interest and supporting local players.
Creativity is (partly) about divergent thinking, and the ability to come up with unrelated options and ideas. This (very simple) #test estimates #creativity based on the test-taker’s ability to come up with 10 words.

Karl Popper on the responsibility of the Intellectual:
Anyone who cannot speak simply and clearly should say nothing and continue to work until he can do so.
The worst thing that intellectuals can do –the cardinal sin –is to try to set themselves up as great prophets vis-à-vis their fellow men and to impress them with puzzling philosophies.
In return, he owes it to his fellow men (or ‘to society’) to represent the results of his study as simply, clearly and modestly as he can.
Every intellectual has a very special responsibility. He has the privilege and the opportunity of studying.

When #culture is seen as an evolving and complex system, even small variations (like misspellings, or changes to recipes) can tell us a lot about its history and evolution.
Caveat: “”Most misspellings are systematic and non-random transformations.””

Netflix going into mobile games, and interactive shows before, are steps in an interesting transition that will lead to entirely new (hybrid?) content formats, and an easier flow of content between different media.
