What does creativity need to emerge in an emergency situation? I try to answer this question through examples from fire fighting and kayaking, along with film scenes from World War Z, Titanic and Jaws. Possible answers are simple and challenging at the same time.
Sorry for the delay of this episode. I was dealing with an important family matter.
"Lighting a counter fire, or: What conditions are necessary for creativity to emerge in an emergency situation?"
This is the central question of this episode, and of the podcast in general, and I address it through examples from fire fighting and kayaking, along with film scenes from World War Z, Titanic and Jaws.
Possible answers are simple and challenging at the same time.
