Would you like to unlock the creative, imaginative and innovative potential in your team or organisation…BUT…don’t want to listen to another serious podcast which offers 7 steps, 5 habits, 3 mantras, and a hard sell in a pear tree? Then join ‘The Occupational Philosophers’, a ‘not-so-serious’ podcast with Simon Banks (middle-aged Australian surfer man, artist and published author) and John Rice (middle-aged British man with a love of curiosity and philosophy) as they chat with a ‘clowder’ (great word!) of curious cats from the fields of Comedy, Academia, Philosophy, Neuroscience, Psychology, Design, Marketing, and Business, to explore how you, your team, and your organisation, can develop your curiosity, spark your creativity, and free your imagination, so you can grow your business and your people….sounds great huh?! But don’t just take our word for it, read what our listeners think: “Worth a listen, one of them has a strange Australian accent” “They’re not philosophers, they’re idiots” “If you like business, philosophy, humour, creativity, and imagination, then have a listen - if not, then I would leave well alone” http://www.occupationalphilosophers.com

In episode 29, the Occupational Philosophers ask the very important question of "Is technology killing our creativity?"
Fulfilling John's high school dreams of a career in law they take a for and against argument and explore both sides of the argument.
In this episode, they discuss:
- The different types of curiosity and how technology drives each of them
- How technology both fuels and diminishes empathy
- Why it's important to consider the spaces and places we create for curiosity and creativity
- How travelling pre-mobile phone may have been a very different experience
- Why we need to create online and offline spaces for creativity
- How interrupting your flow can drop your IQ (watch out!)
- Why our humanness is more important than ever
- Can robots create art (or is it just craft?)
- Why data is nothing without.....
As always, (and in the tradition of the great philosophers of the past - not the John and Simon count themselves in that space by any means - John is in training, however), there are some great thought experiments.
For episode 29, the thought experiment is:
- App or Crap?
We hope you enjoy the episode as much as The Occupational Philosophers enjoyed making it.
