What is, for you, creativity?
Let's put aside AI please :) Just a bit inquisitive about what does that mean for you? (You can go crazy on the reply)
Creativity is creation. Creation from the imagination from our brain which helps to keep going on. Between dreams, inspirations, celebrations, sadness, love. Putting into words is easy sometimes. Sometimes is hard. Sometimes is too much words to put on paper or through HTML. Naively, I thought creativity was not caged. But, it is. Too much codes, boxes, rules (I understand that sometimes some basics rules can prevent upsetting situations.. we all know that). Putting words on a white paper (cliché) helps to vent out. It creates something new which I adore. It creates a new storyline which, sometimes, you do not know where it goes, where it should end.
Is it because we were brought up in a society which imposes a certain way? Or a selective society meaning this type of creativity is worth something but the others no ?
While studying in STEM I noticed that at least a few techniques we use in modern computer construction are, in significant ways, really (highly) refined techniques from much older ages. It really got me thinking about how we learn things, and I figured that quite a bit of what we learn is from observing the natural world and noticing things which are interesting/unusual, such as noting that ore exposed to intense fire will melt/evaporate the metal out of the rock, purifying it.
Ever since then I've been paying much more attention to the world, and found a great many rare circumstances which led to interesting results, such as one morning when I woke up just as the sun hit the perfect angle off a mirror and onto my lashes, to cause a cascade of rainbows right in my eyes. Just a few days ago I was lucky enough to enjoy a very unusual weather combination, where it was raining fairly hard at the same time as a very hot sun was in a clear part of the sky. The combination of cool rain and hot sun at the same time was very odd, but greatly enjoyable while exercising.
It's really quite something just how much more there actually is in the world when you keep an open mind and open eyes to go with it.
That: "such as one morning when I woke up just as the sun hit the perfect angle off a mirror and onto my eyelashes, to cause a cascade of rainbows right in my eyes. Just a few days ago I was lucky enough to enjoy a very unusual weather combination, where it was raining fairly hard at the same time as a very hot sun was in a clear part of the sky. The combination of cool rain and hot sun at the same time was very odd, but greatly enjoyable while exercising." that is something nicely written. I could really imagine the situation. You should keep going on with that thought. To write something about that.
There is more in the world, but I think [a slight derivation of the topic, sorry] we (general) do not take enough time to appreciate as we have to keep going on with our life. Maybe, just to make a small pause can help. I stop here cuz I think I will write a whole novel 😂
