YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

We created this video in partnership with Unlikely Collaborators.

What makes the human brain capable of creativity?

Neuroscientist David Eagleman, creativity researcher Scott Barry Kaufman, and productivity expert Tiago Forte each explore a different part of the puzzle: how humans evolved additional cortical “space,” how imagination builds on the knowledge we gather, and how organizing your thoughts in a “second brain” helps ideas take shape. Together, their perspectives explain why creativity depends on storing, combining, and transforming the raw material we collect over time.
