In this TED Talk Daily episode, host Elise Hu introduces author Amie McNee, who argues for the importance of engaging in creative practices, especially during times of crisis. McNee challenges the cultural sidelining of art, asserting that creativity is a crucial element of self-development and a means of reclaiming agency and attention in a world dominated by consumption and digital distractions. She refutes the idea that art is frivolous or irrelevant, positioning it as a form of activism and a vital expression of human connection, particularly in the age of AI, urging listeners to embrace their creativity, leave a legacy, and recognize the generous and transformative power of art.
