Isaac Asimov, a giant of 20th-century science fiction, almost never wrote his groundbreaking Foundation series. Why? He tried to follow his publisher’s advice: "Make an outline." But creativity doesn’t always follow a structure or plan. So, how did Asimov turn the corner? Find out in this week’s edition of Creative for Creatives, my Substack newsletter where you'll find ideas and stories to spark/inspire/fuel your creative potential.

The question hangs in the air, heavy and unsettling: What does it mean to be human in a world where technology can alter our very essence? #Transhumanism, once a whispered concept in science fiction novels, is no longer a distant fantasy. It's a reality that's rapidly approaching, a wave of innovation poised to reshape our world, our bodies, and even our minds. This article invites you to peer into the mirror of this transformative future. It explores the potential benefits and risks, the promises and perils, of a world where we can enhance our intelligence, extend our lifespans, and even reshape our physical forms. 👇 (Link in the comment box) #FutureOfWork #PhilosophyOfLife

"The future isn't a fixed path, or a chute through which we're helplessly propelled. We make the future together through an agglomeration of choices small and large, minute and momentous: whether and how to vote, which technologies to buy and adopt and which ones to skip entirely, how and where we live, how we get around, how we construct our families, where we work and what we work on. We're all constrained to various degrees by a dizzying array of social factors, but we do have decisions to make. And doing nothing in the face of scientific and technological change is a decision too. We hope that [these] stories help us imaginatively rehearse possible future scenarios, and help us get better at recognizing places where things could be different, even when they're hard to glimpse. Scientific and technological elites and leaders often present the future as a fait accompli. A good story can help us find a different point of view, to scout out the decision points so that we can muster our resources and act at the right moment... Life in the future, in short, will not be so different from life today. The human choices we make will be inflected by technology, but ultimately we are the ones who will have to live with their consequences. We are also the ones who will have to make sense of them, telling stories and narrating ourselves into identities, communities, and societies that feel like they really matter. That is the essential role of fiction––to help us inhabit other worlds, and other minds, so that we can better understand our own. " ^ An inspiring passage from the introduction of Future Tense Fiction (2019), a collection of speculative short stories, that serves as a great reminder of the importance of (re)imagining our future (and reading fiction!). It felt like an opportune book to crack this weekend as I prepared for my daughter's first day of kindergarten (!!!) and the future world becomes even more of her oyster.

As a kid, I was an avid reader across multiple genres, and I had a soft spot for science fiction. What did I learn from Science Fiction? If we make something believable, we can generate new realities. When we are leading people into uncertainty, we must first make the future state desirable and believable, then we can make it real. To make it real, we need to build a bridge that people are confident to cross, to get us from here, to there. The structure of the bridge is tangible discoveries and inventions that people can see, hear, touch, and believe in. Be thankful for the uniquely human skills that build new realities: == IMAGINATION to envision what could be. == LANGUAGE to articulate the vision to others. == VISUAL arts to bring the dream to life. == SCIENCE to build the physical connections. Dare to Dream. 🌤 #KnowledgeCreation
