    Artists Through History

    Artists through History. The first episode in a new six part series. The Rock Tumbler:  How Different Minds Create Breakthrough Thinking. With special guest Josh Harrison, of the Center for the Study of the Force Majeure.   Key HIghlights: 1. Artists as Integrated Problem-Solvers: Lessons from History  Historically, artists weren’t isolated creatives—they were embedded in the fabric of their communities, solving real problems and serving societal needs. 2. The Renaissance Model: Patronage, Collaboration, and Adaptability Renaissance artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were not lone geniuses—they were master collaborators, project managers, and business developers. 3. The Myth of the Solitary Genius: Why Collaboration Trumps Isolation The romantic notion of the “starving artist” working alone is a modern invention. Historically, success came from collaboration and community engagement. 4. The Crisis of Financialization: Rethinking Value in Business and Art We’ve become obsessed with measuring value in purely financial terms, often at the expense of moral, ecological, and cultural considerations. 5. From Information Sharing to Information Arbitrage: The Next Frontier The evolution from open knowledge sharing (à la Adam Smith) to information hoarding and arbitrage has profound implications for sustainability and business ethics.
