    the truth feels dangerous, and that’s why the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki is ignored

    To be success in something, you need to put stress on not only academic or professional knowledge but also connection with people and it will be able to help you doing things well.

    Yes! He nailed it: the only way to teach is through love! And using artistic expression to teach is so healing! I absolutely love that he’s going to the most dangerous regions. That gives me hope for the next generation in those regions.

Artist Joe Whale used to get in trouble for doodling in class, until a local restaurant let him cover an entire wall with his artwork … and the internet took notice. He traces his unlikely beginning to a bigger story: your imagination is a muscle, and it weakens when you hand it off to AI. Through a live doodling demo, he shows in real time what it looks like to let a thought become a drawing, one line at a time. (Recorded at Play@TED on May 14, 2026)
