Human creativity is an unbelievable force. But for every great invention and idea that's designed with clear purpose, there’s several shots in the dark that seemingly come out of nowhere. Connecting unrelated dots. Meeting unnecessary needs. Leading our species in questionable directions. What’s even more amazing is that many of these quests and creations have become amongst the most adopted elements of the modern age. In this podcast, we explore these terrible ideas and present some thoughts on what potentially sparked them, and examine what we think made them work.
