We believe that creativity is the key to the future - that a better, more enjoyable life for everyone will come from people who have the power to shape our thoughts and endeavors with new ideas, discoveries, inventions and art.
Who are those people?
The ones who think. Like you, for instance.
Because you think, you want to know what's going on at the cutting edges of science and technology, culture and art, business and government, law and social policy, education and philosophy. You need the latest news and opinion on fresh creative developments. And you don't just want to read about others' brainstorms - you want to offer your own once in a while, too.
You'll find what you're looking for here, starting with our daily blogs about entrepreneurship and soon including original, interactive news stories on innovations around the world as the Geniocity Webzine grows.
But fun. Let's not forget fun.
That's the best part of creativity and you'll find endless ways to enjoy it as you browse through the unique artworks, designed items and amusements for sale in our Geniocity Shop. You'll discover cool new things to look at, read, listen to and use - things that will get your own imagination going, all made by artists and innovators you'll want to know more about.
We think you'll want to visit us every day. Because, when you're here, you can see what's next.
So who are we?
A few people in the middle of the United States who thought it was time somebody started keeping the public informed about the effects creativity can and does have on our brains, the quality of our lives and the problems that need solving in our world.
We therefore elected ourselves to bring you the news, the discussions and the brain-stimulating entertainments that creativity and innovation generate. We figure the more imaginatively we all think, the more likely we are to survive, help each other and have a heck of a good time.
Here we are. Pleased to meet you.
