The Dawdler's Philosophy's video: E29: Hustling Past the Graveyard Ideation in the New Gilded Age

“If you want new ideas, read old books.” -Ivan Pavlov This was the sentiment Ryan witnessed at an evolution conference a few years back. On the one hand, it is a condemnation of the state of originality in science. And, on the other, it is a commendation of its resourcefulness. But why the need for such resourcefulness? What’s the problem? In this episode the Dawdlers talk about the state of ideation in the world today and the possible undercurrents that are determining its low quality. Pinch pennies, not yourself.
