UPDATE - How To Change The World: The history of innovation

Long before the rise of Empires, before the invention of the written word, and before humans ever tamed fire.Curiosity was shaping the fate of our species. Today we think changing the world is for superheroes, tech billionaires or political leaders. This assumption couldn’t be further from the truth.From Socrates the street rat to Einstein the patent clerk, it’s always the black sheep.Those willing to challenge everything they've been told. This isn’t surface-level history. This podcast breaks down the messy, complicated, often accidental ways they as individuals—and we as a species—have pushed humanity forward—and shows you exactly how you can do the same. Starting at the dawn of civilisation we trace the thread of human innovation in the order it happened.Each episode is a masterclass - with all the nerdy details and side-quests that matter across science, economics, psychology and more:<ul><li>From Maritime navigation to Interstellar exploration</li><li>Hammurabi's legal code to Algorithmic governance</li><li>Da Vinci’s human dissection to dissecting and editing our DNA</li></ul> What begins with the potter’s wheel ends, who knows where?Studying the patterns of history shows how every world-changing idea is but a conversation between what has been and what could be. So whether you’re looking to scratch an intellectual itch, understand the changes we live through or make your own mark.Journey with us as we untangle the playbooks of the disruptors who change things here on Earth and beyond. NoteThis show was previously "The Coronavirus Effect" podcast. On that show, we discussed the unprecedented changes caused by the coronavirus with various thought leaders and industry insiders. The show helped us understand and navigate the changes going on around us which is a key element of the direction of the new show.
