Summary

The webpage discusses the importance of human creativity in the face of increasing automation and the potential for machines to take over jobs, suggesting that embracing creativity can lead to personal and professional growth.

Abstract

The article emphasizes the limitless potential of human creativity, especially in an era where machines are poised to take over many traditional jobs. It argues that this shift could lead to reduced work hours and an increased focus on creative endeavors that are inherently human and cannot be replicated by machines. The author suggests that engaging in creative activities is not only beneficial for mental health and overall well-being but also ensures a market for human-made products and services. The piece offers strategies for enhancing creativity, such as practicing questioning techniques and working on multiple projects simultaneously, and references the work of Eugene M. Schwartz to underscore the value of creative thinking in advertising and personal development.

Machines & The Truth About Your Creative Abilities

The future called— they want their creators back!

Also, fresh ones!!!

Today, we speak of unleashing the complete force of your creative spirit, and why you might soon need to.

On your creativity, I have little to say, other than to observe scientists can’t pinpoint a limit to our potential, and that I’m thrilled for everyone to find out all about it.

Because it’s time.

The current state of machines suggests that humans will soon go unneeded to perform more jobs than ever before, allowing us, at minimum, to drastically reduce work hours for all!!

Oddly, the opposite of what the industrial revolution did a couple hundred of years ago.

The Industrial Revolution created an increase in employment opportunities. Wages at factories were higher than what individuals were making as farmers. As factories became widespread, additional managers and employees were required to operate them, increasing the supply of jobs and overall wages.

Investopedia, Industrial Revolution

Yeah, totally not what’s happening this time around.

These new bots don’t need most of us for shit.

And this is a great thing, because a) our bodies and minds can use the break, and b) we’re generally talking about work that needs to be done — or at the very least, that we want done — and drastically wastes our humanity to perform.

Your brain isn’t just unique to everyone on Earth today, but compared to all human minds which have existed before you, and perhaps all of them to come — though the future might see us delving deeper into a hive-mind, at which point I assume we will automatically share more similarities than ever before.

The specifics escape me.

You might ask why it matters that you’re creative or not in this new world.

For one, there will always a market for human-made services and products, and additional funds are always a plus. But more importantly, it’s healthy for you.

Plus, you’ll want self-sustaining ways to spend your time.

Either way, I have at least two bits of information for you here now. First, is the following article on the easiest method I find for practicing your creativity on the spot —

You’ll learn it’s quite simple.

Too simple.

It might piss you the f’ck off just how simple it really is.

As is the following technique you might wish you’ve known your entire life, especially if you’re one of those people who likes to call themselves a ‘great multitasker’—

Simply work on more than one project at a time. Be as organized as you need to be.

Preferably three projects will do, but this is also to your own pace.

It’s how I write, create AI art, produce music and audio, and achieve other tasks at my desk and around the house every day without getting bored or slowing down.

And I’m not the only one.

Eugene himself did something similar when he was alive!!

The trick is to focus on one task at a time, maybe for one hour, or even a half, then rotate! I jump around more sporadically, but again, always, to each their own adjustments. You can read more about Schwartz’s creative and copywriting techniques and get a hyper-convenient non-affiliate link to Breakthrough Advertising by clicking on article below— though the link above might be better.

Had to delete the article. 
I didn’t yet know what I truly had. 
If you didn’t click on the one above, then 
here 
it is again.

Those who’ve acquired the book, regardless of their profession, have a track record of growing their businesses more effectively post-reading it.

Because yes, I share it for two reasons:

  1. To boost your creative abilities.
  2. To raise your independence/ability to live the most spectacular life possible.

You’ll always have a choice.
