How do we come up with ideas? How do we make decisions? And how can we do both better? Steven Johnson has explored this question and written a dozen books about it. In this playful, thoughtful episode, Steven has some fascinating stories, like\xa0how Darwin made the decision to get married \u2014 or how a\xa0defecating duck helped lead to the invention of the computer. Through their own stories, Steven and Alan Alda share their thoughts about\xa0the transformative nature of ideas and what sort of environments best give rise to creativity.\xa0\n\nSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/clearandvivid
