intro’d to Tiffany here:
tedmed 2014:
the wonders of a wandering mind – focus on being unfocussed
3 min – Lionardo de Vinci – offered a glimpse into the future of our species – a master at multi-disciplinary thinking
4 min – an adaptation in the species that is so different – sport – to sprout off.. de Vinci was that sport
6 min – our brain adapts and changes quickly – your brain is always on.. every thought/experience can reinforce some section of your brain.. even just thinking about thinking…
7 min – that moment – that you get to pause – that’s an incredible human strength…
the white matter -the more you use a pathway – the faster things will flow
inter hemispheric communication – internet of the brain – we use our whole brain to think.. when you have the different parts connecting – that’s where the creativity comes from
10 min – to make brain more adaptable: sleep, exercise, daydreaming, taking breaks..
how can we bring that more..
a nother way ness
collision of different perspectives..
empathy – feeling into someone else

q&a after her tedmed talk:
http://blog.tedmed.com/unlocking-human-potential-qa-tiffany-shlain/
These days, there is a great deal of conversation about how technology can impact humans. These conversations tend to either be based on fear and anxiety, or are overly idealistic. Meanwhile, there are also conversations taking place about revamping the education system, and focusing on the sciences and engineering. The problem is that I haven’t seen those conversations overlap yet. I want to emphasize what they point to the potential of humanity.

UC Berkeley Keynote Commencement Speech 2010
2 min – no lucrative jobs luring you away from what you want to do.. that’s an opportunity
4 min – father – if you’re not living on the edge – you’re taking up way too much space
5 min – moxie – used to be the medicine that will build up your nerve.. now it’s about being bold and a little outrageous…
7 min – when got intro’d to web..
11 min – the internet was the tool women needed.. to be able to stay home
14 min – we’re facing a vast array of interconnected consequences… because world is so connected and so many more people… stakes are higher…
good news is – you have everything you need to know to make it better…
15 min – internet has given the world a connected nervous system.. in a lot of ways.. it’s taught us how to connect..
16 min – now is the time to put things back together..
now thinking of the world as a system
systemic ness
you just need to figure out which strand you’re going to pull on

Hey #HOWLive, loved being there today! Here is the 10min #film I wanted to show: “The Adaptable Mind” vimeo.com/133190364
the adaptable mind
1\ curiosity
the news kept puncturing my consciousness…
curiosity is diff between skimming and searching
curiosity is what makes us unique from machines.. our minds built to constantly adapt…
2\ creativity
creativity is liberating human energy – howard gardner
your special twist on curiosity
energy\ness
research shows.. some of most creative thoughts happen when you let your mind wander
3\ initiative
4\ multi-disciplinary thinking
we need more multi asking – across cultures/ages/genders…
5\ empathy
rebekah sacks.. sensing the modes/feelings of others.. develops at age 5
takes time/eye contact… connecting broadly is meaningless unless deeply
agri to industrial to knowledge to human…
skills needed most: being human
human skills.. just as important as knowledge..
be you.
