i really hate all of this bs relating to how to become creative and such.
You guys, before we even discuss creativity, we need to know the definition of being creative. Albert einstein, a role model of all that's genius and the only person that is commonly afflitiated with the nobel prize should say "creativity dont exist, its your brain that do all the job of being smart and getting notions that you will regret because it enlarges your list of friends" should he be alive now.
IMHO humans are doomed to be "uncreative" because of peer pressure. When you got too much friends that say OMg this thing is sooo hard and impossible for me to solve and learn, the herd behaviour will sooner or later catch up and messes up your brain thus causing you to sink to their level of thinking.
Solitudity can work wonders for those who wish to find out more about the world, the only thing that you need is interest and determination and a lil bit of autistic thinking.
