Bryce Dallas Howard Instagram – “Why would aliens come to Earth?” 👽⁣ ⁣ This is a question I’ve asked and discussed many times. I’ve heard all kinds of answers. But one stands out above the rest: “Rock & Roll”⁣ ⁣ The esteemed astrophysicist who gave this answer has a point. ⁣ ⁣ Our ability to collaborate and create shared experiences with the purpose of emotionally transporting others into new worlds and perspectives is… kind of magic. ⁣ ⁣ Whether it’s the Mona Lisa, Beyoncé’s albums, or the Pyramids of Giza, what exists on Earth, and perhaps not anywhere else, is human creativity and the ways that self-expression impacts the species at large.⁣ ⁣ It’s the “thing we do.”⁣ ⁣ Theoretically, *that* is what aliens would be most in awe of: Human creativity and collaboration.⁣ ⁣ I mused on this and more in last weekend’s newsletter — sign up @ the link in bio to read before my next edition drops on Sunday! 💌⁣ ⁣ p.s. I’m passionate about creating global access to careers in the arts (and this free newsletter is all about supporting creatives in that journey!), so if you know someone who could benefit from tips for navigating a career in the arts, share this with them! ⁣ ⁣ 📸: James White⁣ ⁣ [ID: Standing in a plume of smoke against a white backdrop, BDH poses for a Flaunt Magazine photoshoot.
