In this wide ranging conversation with Making Sense of Madness host Sara Haboubi we explore concepts relating to Human Creativity, Perception, Propaganda and the systematic blurring between Fact and Fiction which increasingly defines how current world events are presented. To what extent is our society 'cognitively castrated' by the rigidity of our educational system. Has creativity effectively been 'educated out of us'?
Audiences who are still connected with their critical faculties wonder about the truthfulness that accompanies much of what is presented as fact by main stream media. Too often however, social forces conspire to make us reluctant to investigate truth, lest we discover it and don't like what we find. For many, the fear of being labelled a 'conspiracy theorist' or an 'anti-vaxxer' imposes its own social censorship.

I'm looking forward to hearing this! An ice-age ago, I was getting my doctorate in the psychology of creativity. I never wrote my dissertation because I'd determined that the question was more important than the answer--if you got the question right, the answer was self-evident. And I didn't yet know the right question. So I'm already in agreement with Sara and can't wait to dive in deeper.
And my book is winging its way to you and should be there in 10 days. Thanks for the lovely compliment on your call with Colin that I'm "a sovereign thinker." I've joked that sovereignty is my middle name, since it's the common thread to the vastly different topics I cover, so you're speaking to my heart. Thank you!
