These awe inspiring days are exhausting, the people speaking on stage, and the people i am meeting irl (proud blog term) are all amazing. The poet Laureate of Toronto Pier Giorgio Di Cicco told me today, he feels home in Detroit you can taste it. He also asked me if i knew people were exploring the abandoned buildings, i told him i knew a thing or two.
During Piers opening comments he said
"Creativity is a way of life. It Commands alligence and the love of the creative person. It is tireless"
Also Notable Richard Flordia today was speaking about how the Finacial Crisis will be solved by the creative class.
100 years ago 50% of the population worked in agriculture
50 years ago 50% in manufacturing
because we have concured distance and are outsourcing manufacturing
today 45% of the population works in the creative fields.
with the world banks freezing large sums of money,
"when you can't move millions of dollars at the blink of an eye, the only thing left lies in human biengs."
"It's not the machines that make our factories great. It is the knowledge and intellegince of the people who work there."
