  • Igniting Criticality and Creativity (The Creative Life)

    Thinking Creatively About Thinking.  The hosts for this show are Darlene Boyd and Phyllis Blees.  The guest is Brian Barnes.  


    Professor Brian Barnes discusses major structures in our thinking that convey both criticality and creativity. These are great parts of our thinking to get to know. They can be accessed whenever and wherever we are doing our thinking and acting. Also, they can be done without books or websites. This discussion is particularly useful for individuals who want better control over both the critical and creative sides of their thinking. It is easy for our creativity to become limited by corporate culture, personalities and motives other than promoting the best thinking for every situation. Professor Barnes, discusses intellectual habits and methods that promote creativity. He also offers practices that help one become aware of implicit biases in our thinking.

  • Impossible...but it Could Happen (Figments: On Reality)

    Black Swans on the Horizon.  The host for this show is Dan 'Fig' Leaf.  


    The assassination of President John F. Kennedy fifty-eight years ago seemed impossible until it happened. Fig shares his recollection of the day and its aftermath, and ways that the event changed the course of history. That was a black swan - a a phenomenon that occurs even though it had been thought to be impossible.

    Fig examines the situation in Chile where a presidential election and revision of the constitution may fundamentally change what is arguably the most stable and successful democracy in Latin America. The black swan in this equation was a 30-peso (US$0.05) in October 2019 that sparked over two years of unrest and upheaval and set the stage for a political earthquake. Fig talks about the possible consequences and how it may relate to the political situation in the United States.

    The host examines the potential for other black swans in the US and elsewhere.
