Where is the Bronx Science for adults? ![]()
The best thing about going to Bronx Science, for me, was being in daily contact with really smart and creative people my own age. That’s what I keep looking for, as an adult.
I didn’t quite find it at Harvard, what I found there was permission to be creative, which is more than Silicon Valley gives, but I didn’t find other people who were creating in the same way I was, or who could appreciate what I was creating, or whatever — not sure, but the connections didn’t get made. I’m watching a PBS special about Aaron Copland, and he found that kind of collegial creativity, in New York, in the early-mid 20th century.
Hanging out here with Doc Searls for a couple of days last week was like what I’m looking for, but I want ten Docs, and I want to be around them 200 days a year, developing ideas across disciplines. This is what my soul yearns for, not fame, or wealth, more like fullfillment.

“That’s what I keep looking for, as an adult.”
Same here (even tho I never got a chance to experience Bronx Science). But I’ve concluded if I can’t find it, I’ll just have to make it.

With all due respect to Dr. Kissinger, I think alot of us knew this from day one….
