Hello there luminous learner!
Creative thinkers, problem solvers, and let's be honest - nerds, we see you, and the challenges you face every day. Sometimes you just need a fresh way to approach a problem, so we'd like to recommend Biomimicry.
Your career doesn't have to have anything to do with nature to benefit from nature's genius - Biomimicry is all about thinking differently and learning how to innovate like evolution. Why not give it a try 😉
As for your weekend reads, feast your eyes on some unexpectedly delightful copywriting from scientists, a letter of protest against ChatGPT, a music-making AI, and more!
Big love,
Chris & the 42courses team x

- Creativity after Corona: Global disasters tend, unexpectedly, to yield a golden era of creativity and humour. Is it time for funny ads, once again?
- Mind Powers: How do you get the most out of your mind in the moment you need your mind the most? From Todd Henry's podcast, an illuminating guide on the right lifestyle for creativity.
- Does Chat GPT reject any notion of human struggle? Stephen Fry reads a stirring letter on this topic, suggesting it mechanises creativity. Watch it and make up your own mind!
- Your new favourite AI tool: If you like making music, that is. It's free to try when you create an account, and not very good yet, but worth checking out!
- Can scientists be copywriters? Probably not, but they're doing it anyway in some standout skincare ads from The Ordinary that certainly break the norm.
