The Real Reason You Can't Focus on Your Art Anymore
"Every morning, I sit down to create, and within minutes, my brain is scattered. Sound familiar? This isn't about screen time, but the difference between natural and digital sensing data. One has no agenda; the other is designed to colonize your imagination. Recorded on a farm walk in rural Western Australia—dogs, kookaburras, and a conversation about what the digital age does to creatives.
In this video:
— Why AI & social media compete with your creativity
— The concept of "intention" in sensing data & why nature resets your brain
— Why geographic escape doesn't work & what does
— A preview of The Sun King: my framework for reclaiming creative dominion.
