The document discusses the importance of being a generalist rather than a specialist. It lists many fields that Leonardo da Vinci excelled in, such as painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, and sculptor, showing his abilities across multiple domains. It emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary skills like problem solving, critical thinking, and collaboration to solve complex modern problems. Being a lifelong learner who stays curious allows one to take a broad perspective and connect ideas across areas.

As we enter an Age of Creativity, driven by AI and new platforms, we believe you are going to need 4 Creative Superpowers to thrive rather than simply survive. These are Making, Hacking, Teaching and Thieving which are all brought to life in this presentation. However they are covered in far more details in our book Creative Superpowers: Equip yourself for the Age of Creativity which is available on Amazon and all good book stores.iPadpalooza 2013

This document summarizes key ideas from Seth Godin's perspective on art and connecting in the modern world. It discusses how art is no longer confined to traditional domains, but is an attitude available to anyone willing to adopt it. Godin argues that the connection economy rewards those who create new, unique things that bring people together. To succeed today requires taking risks, operating without a map or safety net, and thinking like an artist in all that one does.Agile Learning Organisations 2.0

Becoming the Prosthetic God. How AI, Emergence, and Entropy Shape _ by Yoges...Yogesh Malik

Imagine standing on the threshold of a future where our minds are no longer confined by the limits of biology, where technology acts as an extension of our bodies and consciousness.
The concept of Prosthetic God originates from Sigmund Freuds reflections in Civilization and Its Discontents, where he describes humanity as having become a prosthetic God through the integration of various technologies that extend human capabilities.
This metaphor captures the dual nature of technology as both an enhancement and a potential burden, suggesting that while technology can elevate human abilities, it also introduces complexities and challenges that can lead to dissatisfaction and unhappiness.
Today, artificial intelligence (AI) isnt just a tool it is becoming an integral part of who we are. But as we merge with these technologies, are we gaining mastery over nature, or are we simply playing a game whose rules are beyond our understanding?
Close your eyes for a moment. Picture yourself with enhanced abilities an AI assistant reading your every thought, helping you solve complex problems instantly.
Does this image excite you, or does it give you pause?
Are we truly creating a world we can control, or are we stepping into an abyss of unpredictability?
Lets explore how AI, emergence, and entropy shape our future as prosthetic gods. , ultimately asking: what does it mean to be human in this new age of technology?
The Concept of the Prosthetic God The Vision of a Modern Deity
The Vision of a Modern Deity
Take a moment to think about how much the world has changed because of technology.
The wheel once carried us forward, the telescope expanded our gaze to the stars, and now, artificial intelligence extends our minds into new realms of cognition.
Freuds vision of the prosthetic god was an empowered humanity enhanced, unstoppable, and capable of reshaping reality itself.
But what does this look like today?
Picture yourself during the Industrial Revolution: the clanking of machines, the smoke rising from factories, humanity entering a new age of mechanical power.
Today, in the 21st century, the machines are quiet, invisible, running in the background.
AI does more than replace our muscles it augments our thinking, enabling us to process information at astonishing speeds.
Have you ever used an AI tool to help you write a paper, diagnose a problem, or create art?
These are more than tools they are becoming extensions of our very selves.
From Mechanical to Cognitive Augmentation
Now, consider how AI influences your day-to-day thinking. Instead of simply processing mundane tasks, it acts as your partner in creativity and problem-solving.
What happens when you ask an AI to help you brainstorm?
Does it feel like a collaborator something that makes you think differently?
Imagine having an AI that understands your thoughts, can finish your sentences, or even inspire you to see things in a new light.

This document discusses the interconnected nature of health, society, arts, science and technology. It argues that we cannot be cured of illnesses like cancer alone, but require collaboration across different fields and groups. The artist is seen as playing an important role in bridging divides and helping society understand complex issues. The rest of the document outlines plans to create augmented sensory art installations that explore themes of an interconnected body and society using data streams. The goal is to help confront health and other complex social issues in networked, complex ways.Les watson

The document discusses ideas around designing university spaces for the 21st century. It touches on several key ideas including the need for open, flexible spaces that support collaborative and conversational learning. It also emphasizes that spaces should be designed not just as architecture but with consideration of how they can promote learning and community. The library is highlighted as a key space that needs to embody new pedagogies and serve as the central intellectual hub of the campus.Chapter 3, Daniel Pinks A Whole New Mind

The document discusses empowering young students with UX design thinking and tools to help problem solve. It explores using the creating-to-discover learning strategy and extending this approach through environments that externalize thinking. UX design requires interdisciplinary thinking to explore the creative mind and allow internal and external models to be seamlessly combined. Developing these skills can help students understand problems in new ways and be innovative in creating solutions.Awholenewmind

The document summarizes key concepts from the book A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink. It discusses the transition from the left-brain dominated Information Age to the emerging Conceptual Age, which will be ruled by right-brain skills like design, story, symphony, empathy, play, and meaning. These six senses will be increasingly important as automation eliminates certain jobs and more work can be done more cheaply overseas. Creativity and skills like synthesizing different fields, understanding emotions, and finding purpose will distinguish success in the future.Imaginary Brands
