One of the best things I saw this week: a paper uncovering alien signals in the Riemann Zeta function. April Fools always brings peak creativity.

When the trees stand.
4pm. Walking along the banks of the Ovens river. There have been bushfires in the mountains and all day a smokey haze has hung like mist.
But now it catches the slanting light, throwing a gossamer net of magic down the aisle of trees. Catching a glimpse of faerie here would not surprise.
The other world is held back by the sounds of a father and son who have dumped their mountain bikes at the river’s edge and now whoop and curse as they throw large rocks into the stream.
"Creativity is not a talent. It's a way of operating." – John Cleese
“Creativity is one of the few big concepts that has not descended into jargon in the mouth of business, perhaps because, unlike commitment and excellence, it will never go out of style. Ideas in this world are always in short supply–even bad ones. People who can draw on their inner resources at will, and come up with thoughts others can, at least, discuss, are an asset to an organization that must constantly generate the illusion of planned activity. So do your best to tap your creativity when people are looking for solutions. And don't be afraid to put your ideas across, either, no matter how dumb you may suspect them to be. Creativity lies in the quantity of thought produced as well as the quality. If you hit one out of three, you'll still be carrying a major-league batting average.” — Stanley Bing

“The Gen X Career Meltdown:” What Happens When Your Job Becomes Obsolete? | Amanpour and Company
He hits a key point I agree with: Gen X got nailed by being raised for a Boomer world they didn't realize was disappearing until it was too late to prepare as well for it.

A Storied Past Reimagined
Founded in 1972, Galerie Anne-Sophie Duval in Paris became a name to know when Anne-Sophie Duval invited a then-rising Karl Lagerfeld—creative director at Chloé—to design her booth at La Biennale Paris. Imagine a young Jonathan Anderson styling a contemporary New York gallery booth today—that was the level of cultural splash Lagerfeld made. #creativity #design #innovation #Jewelry

"Creativity is the way I share my soul with the world." - Brené Brown
The brilliant Amber Tamblyn – actress, director, author, poet, Substacker, and activist – takes a break from doing, like, *everything* to discuss how she's surviving life as an artist in the 21st century. This artist-on-artist conversation moved and inspired me in so many different ways.

I love when programming handbooks start with quotes like this:
"Creativity is more than just being different...
Anybody can play weird — that's easy.
What's hard is to be as simple as Bach.
Making the simple complicated is commonplace...
Making the complicated simple
— awesomely simple;
That"s creativity."
— Charles Mingus, jazz musician (1922-1979)

How To Be More Intelligent 101 via Nicholas Bate [Shared]
1. Read staggering amounts, regularly returning to the classics both fiction and non-fiction.
2. Write your own notes of your daily learnings aiming for super concise summaries. In that way you must squeeze and reveal the essence of a subject.
3. Stay active during the day. That’s not just ‘go to the gym’. Stay active; you’ll notice the ideas flowing so much more quickly and easily.
Plus 100 more!
