Brain Pickings is for the idea people, those of us who believe that in order to improve or even fully understand a concept, we have to first understand all the little pieces that surround it. Pieces across anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, religion, politics, philanthropy, art, physics, neuroscience, psychology, sociology, biology, you-name-itology. Pieces that make your original concept stronger, smarter, richer, deeper and more impactful.
It’s a modest exercise in vision- and mind- expansion that will, at the very least, introduce you to new ideas and perspectives and, at its very best, help you think more, laugh more, do more. Be a better person. Because a better person conceives of better, stronger, smarter, richer, deep, more impactful ideas — culturally, commercially and socially. And, on a very human level, isn’t that all there is?
