PT Shorts: Where do ideas come from?

Peripheral Thinking

Where do new ideas come from?

Your mind regenerates from the outside in, teased to life by artists, innovators, agitators playing on the margins. Their work inspires yours. This is the spark, the stuff of new ideas.

As with your mind, so too an old city.

Berlin in 1992 was a tired place, run dry by 50 years of division, devoid of life, energy and new story.

Until it was woken up.

The same today in Detroit. A husked out old powerhouse finding new form, courtesy of the peripheral thinkers and players, sparking new story, seeding new ideas.

Like an old city, your mind wakes up from the outside in, seeds of ideas taking root on the margins, the periphery, before bleeding into the mainstream of your mind.

In this episode, we talk about Berlin and Detroit and waking you up from the outside in. It's only a little episode; short enough to consume on a dog walk or journey to work. Or even on the toilet, if you're that way inclined.
