The Creativity Delusion is a multi-part video essay on how our misconceptions about ideas and the way brains work impact our views about creation. These also extend to intellectual property.

Ideas only seem magical and the product of genius because we refuse to see all the work, knowledge and remix that’s behind that complete and polished product. In this second part of our mini-series, we'll find out that minds do not operate differently to different people.

Shakespeare copied. Mozart copied. Picasso copied too. We're obsessed with originality. But we're slowly destroying the very creativity we want to protect. "Good artists copy, bad artists steal" was stolen by a lot of people. This is the last video in our three-part series.
