The Creativity Wet Blanket

This talk by Ken Robinson is awesome. Brilliant.

He chats about Education and Creativity... makes you laugh, makes you think, and gets you excited about the world we live in and where we are going in 18 minutes.

Here are some quotes from the talk:

"Professors look at their bodies as a form of transport
for their heads."

"We are educating people out of their creative capacities."

"We don't grow in to creativity, we grow out of it...we get educated out of it."

I also enjoyed one of the jokes he used... a variation on the theme of `if a tree falls in a forest..."

If a man speaks his mind in a forest, and there is no woman there to hear him, is he still wrong?
