CLOUDS OF CREATIVITY
In researching and interviewing the history of the first immigrants from Japan of the early 1900s, Seattle and Washington State was said, “We have more intellectuals than the Japanese in California”. A century later, this area is one of the trend setters in technology and establishment of new businesses like Microsoft and Amazon.
Could it be that “Cloudy Days”, of which we have many, is enough “adversity” to generate more creativity and deep thinking?
Lex Fridman has become a new hero for me as I continue to learn from his long podcast conversations with other deep thinking individuals in our national and international community on both sunny and cloudy days.
Lex is a computer scientist that lectures at MIT. He loves dealing with disagreements and the “s…” life offers, choosing to learn from them, even if the idea doesn’t fit with his core values; and he is strong about maintaining his optimism about his life and future in the USA, as a Jew from Russia immigrant.
The foundation of Western philosophy is Tolstoy and Dostoyevski in overcoming and being responsible for the darkness in each of us as Humans. Similarly, Buddhism is labeled as starting with “suffering” and the Yin which we need to balance with the lighter Yang.
Kelly was heard explaining to her friend, “Love sitting out here and basking in the sun on days like today, but we are also appreciative of the natural beauty that is surrounding us with rainy Washington. The girls love drawing, writing their poetry and composing their songs on cloudy days.”
