Unthinkable? A Brief History of the Impossible

Understanding innovation. As an infinite puzzle.

Humans have a notoriously bad track record of estimating how "impossible" something really is. In this talk, we'll jump into a time machine and go back, all the way to the onset of human civilization, and explore what we can learn from ancient and former "impossibilities" – for what we consider to be impossible today.

Play: A Tool for Learning, Growing, and Thriving

The power of play to address real-world challenges - and how it can shape our future

Play is not just for kids. It’s a powerful tool to help us learn, grow, and thrive. Through play, we can tackle real-world issues, discover new perspectives, and imagine better futures.

Play is often seen as something for children, but it’s time we rethink its importance. Play has the potential to be much more than just entertainment. In this talk, we explore how play can address serious, real-world problems, including the complexity of education, the pitfalls of social media, and our uncertain futures.

Play can help us navigate complex systems, rediscover our creativity, and safely explore possible futures, all while having fun.

Artificial Intelligence: A Car for the Mind?

Thinking in the fast lane – or the path to mental obesity?

"A computer is like a bicycle for the mind." – this quote from Steve Jobs in the early 1980s raises the question of whether current developments in Artificial Intelligence may have brought us into a new situation: can we see AI as a ‘car for the mind’?

The current development we are observing in the field of AI is so rapid that it can be difficult to stay oriented. In this talk, Fabian Hemmert aims to provide this orientation. He outlines an inner compass, calibrated in four different directions: four directions in which our lives could evolve with the help of AI.

The talk shows that possibilities and risks are often two sides of the same coin – and that, in the end, it is of course up to each individual to explore their own path into the future: in the direction that feels right, and with the appropriate 'mental vehicle'.
