How to kill creativity | Lars Tvede | TEDxKEA

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Centralization kills creativity.
Creativity ought to evolve exponentially. Why? Because it largely involves recombination of previous ideas. In other words; the more ideas we already had in the past, the more we can get in the future. However, in reality many societies have seen their creativity bloom, but then die.

When societies get very centralised, their creativity drops dramatically. And afterwards, they crumble or collapse

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
