Anti-Creative Pressures

This is a good insight about creativity and art.

But I specifically want to connect this with science and academia. To be truly intelligent, scientists and academics need to allow their minds to be messy, which they are not allowing. Modern science and academia is so anti-creative that of course they are stuck. The rampant rationalism of academia constipates the mind, lowering its natural intelligence. This is the godlessness of academia.

A messy mind is more intelligent than a buttoned-up one. Mental fluidity IS intelligence. The most intelligent mind is so fluid that it can flow around anything.

In art, you are allowed to make bad art, it’s no big deal. But in science and academia you are not allowed to be imaginative. As soon as do, your colleagues will eat you alive and excommunicate you like the witch that you are. But the witch’s mind is more intelligent than the scientist’s.
