Dear all, it's with great pleasure that I share with you this piece. I had an inspiring, in-depth conversation with artist and fellow Pd'er Ben Bogart over the last months, and this is the result:
« Rational and creative thought are two extremes of a single process. Rational associations involve activations of few memories in very focused directions, while creative associations involve the activation of many memories in many different directions. »
Oh, so THAT's what creativity means !
Why is it called creative, if one can create new thoughts and new things from rational thought, especially thoughts and things that so-called «creative» thought can't come up with ?
Fortunately, that kind of jargon isn't used in the actual MSc thesis. I mean, the word creative is not used in the same way, especially as the word «rational» doesn't appear at all.
