Creativity: The Pregnant Mind

Post by WendyDarling »

Creativity is the brain processing information; the mind at work towards the conception of new thought forms, imaginings, ideas.

I believe that the most creative minds have the monopoly on intelligence, far-reaching capabilities over the above average folks, but what is required for the greater good of such creative genius? Onus.

So, all minds become pregnant with creativity at some point during a lifetime, however the genius minds are always pregnant with a multitude of dream children pending labor. Does the creative genius get a free pass from society due to their valued position in society at the onset of delivering these never-ending idea(l) children?

Intelligence is a premium commodity but what is the responsibility of those blessed with creative hyper-drives to protect all others without said capabilities? In other words, the brightest must shed their light into the future to ensure positive outcomes, built in measures of forethought, before they can in good conscience give birth to any of their idea(l) children. That is the onus, the challenge, I feel each genius must overcome if they are truly of genius quality.

What matters is the ability to stave off the deepest, most unquenchable need to be applauded, to be rewarded monetarily, to birth these children held so dear, dreams. Mother Earth cannot sustain such frivolity of forethought, the lack of personal accountability to a shared reality, the lack of considering others' futures as well with this dark need to create no matter the cost. The unadulterated romance of creation is blinding and intoxicating.

Sorry, but this statement makes no sense whatsoever. Genius, creativity, whatever you want to call it has never in all of history operated in the manner you describe. Those capable of creating do not psychoanalyze their output before presenting it. Perhaps I misunderstood your meaning.

The creators are making the choice to bring "an idea" into the world, they need to be obligated to our world. Playtime is over. Self-awareness and world awareness are beautiful things.

The creative types are so determined to express, blind ambition/selfish delusions, that they lack any noble convictions, self-restraint, and wise counsel towards the future in terms of costs on the environment and its people globally.

Am I taking all of the fun out of creativity?

ImageSpace debris...ideas become material and end up somewhere, don't they?

ImageJakarta, Indonesia...more ideas made material.

Creating a child is what rats, cats, and bats do without thought. This is not 'creativity'.
Creativity without knowledge is art.
Creativity with learning, knowledge and reason is genius.

So what's to be done when this world is full of artists?
