    All his art, content, Podcast, talks and wonderful things can be found at:

    CAN SCORPIONS SMOKE?

    https://www.canscorpionssmoke.com/innercriticonline/


    We start with the question:

    Why does Steve do the stuff he does?

    he lost touch with his intrinsic side until around 35 years

    He doesn't make stuff because of the fun because he cant not do them


    Example: February Challenge


    A Project is like a Flower.

    Start and End of a project is just in our minds

    everaything is always becoming


    because of Dyslexia Steve sees himself as a very good improviser


    Do you think it is possible to start an organization to give people like us a "Job"


    The projections people put on art

    self saboteurs


    Education and Kids


    4 philosphies as guidance :)

    as soon you say 3 things in a talk people get out their pen and papers

    1. be fascinated (not only interested!) swim in sharky waters

    2. open windows in your world so people can SEE you working fascinated (Andy Matuschak) - interestred papers are interesting

    3. learn to live without your means - it is not gonna happen

    4. hang out with weirdos and outsiders - self taughts


    The Book - It sounds like a lot of micro burning mans


    weirdos meet and sparks mor inspiration and fascination


    creative resilience talk

    the community of outsiders


    Popup Radio Station


    the portsmouth symphonia - a Talk

    Also sprach Zarathustra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpJ6anurfuw


    Inexpert conference

    the dyslexic monkey mind brought out

    the podcast 2 minutes of recorded silence with special guests

    100 episodes


    The paradox of not knowing

    you cannot get good at it because then you would be knowing


    "You cant sepnd anytime in nature without being surrounded by death and decay."

    Who trains our muscles of stopping or walking away

    the quality of the compost


    the more it gets a familiar discomfort...

    existential philosophy

    ernest becker denying death "humans fear impermancne and insignificance" - everything is an immortality project


    Book - Rooted - Lyanda Lee Haupt


    on a scale of 1 to 10 what is your fear of death


    experiment in B2B:

    find a team that is open to doing stuff differently - introduce a agenda item "2 minutes and contemplate in which order they would die"


    philosophize THIS


    Steves Childhood and school

    writing stories

    the tea group - 4 days for 10 hours with 16 people and 2 fascilitators



    what are some signs of the discomfort

    feeling like being musunderstood and no logic will help

    Zen Monk - Psychotherapist


    3 zen monk trades

    - bare witness

    - not knowing

    - compassionate action


    the obstacle becomes the path


    Sharons Mom:

    Raised with the concept of honorable witnessing



    Imagine you are the finished article


    be inspirable

    and retain a childlike level of openness


    not wanting to die is kind of Ego-based


    The great pause and its opportunities


    Imagine the world without humans for 60 seconds

    calm the distrubed and disturbed the calms


    pandemic was the invitaiotn to do ANYTHING


    Keith Johnson -. dont try to be celver - your job is just to be obvious


    creative adventures

    with the inner critic
