Humans are creative. We’re born into a created habitat, but we don’t stop co-creating it. We create products, services, buildings, musical pieces or educational proposals. We are creative by nature. However, the actual creation of a product, service or process is only one part of the creative process. It’s an inherent and constituent part of the creative project, but not the only one. For the process to be complete, that which is created must be recognised by others. Therefore, creation must be accompanied by recognition.
Creativity and recognition: friends or foes?

Blood May Hold the Key to Reversing Aging. “First, the team used a heterochronic parabiosis mouse model, in which the blood vessels of a young mouse were connected to an older mouse, so they shared blood circulation.

*The Middle Kingdoms: A New History of Central Europe*
An excellent book by Martyn Rady, here is the passage most relevant to the history of economic thought:
A Norwegian economist and his wife have published a line of bestsellers in the field of economics written before 1750. Top is Aristotle’s Economics. Composed in the fourth century BCE, it is still available in paperback. Martin Luther’s denunciation of usury (1524) is number three. But there, in the top ten, is an unfamiliar name — Veit Ludwig von Seckendorff (1626-1692), who was a government official in the duchy of Saxe-Gotha in Thuringia. Seckendorff’s German Princely State (Teutscher Fürsten-Staat, 1656) is a thousand-page blockbuster that went through thirteen editions and was in continuous print for a century. Although only ever published in German, it was influential throughout Central Europe, shaping policy from the Banat to the Baltic.

Besides his distinctive false nose (the result of a duelling accident), Tycho Brahe kept an elk in his lodgings as a drinking companion.
