Green Is Not a Creative Color

Chloe and Brandon take aim at some of the common misconceptions and cultural norms that give the creative realm an ironically, and maybe unnecessarily, tragic edge. Along the way, they share their perspectives on range of topics including:

- the significance of being an only child and playing alone

- the relationship between imagination and creativity

- the prevalence of impostor syndrome in creative spaces

- the case for universal basic income

- what anonymity would do for the artistic landscape

- the dangers of a refined critical eye

- the deep need for more collectivism in art, culture, and politics

- "bad" art

- comedy vs tragedy

- the evolving role of comedy in society

- the limitations of cancel culture

and much more!

The title of this episode, "Green is Not a Creative Color", references the surrealist comedy/horror web series, "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared", that features a mind-bending episode about creativity.
