I came across a news report on scientific research on human creativity. The findings are nicely backing up old humanist ideals:

Sadly creativity is decling in the US for a few reasons..

1) no longer encouraged along with being educated.  Country is split between those who believe in being "progressive" vs those who think that they are just fine with ignorance is bliss, denial of scientific facts.

2)Many just "pay" to be entertained.  Yrs ago creativity came out of nesseccity.  Imagination was needed.  Now everyone chooses to be entertained by the few who do create things.  Excellent post glad I noticed it!

I didn't really quote that report for its doom and gloom qualities. smiley I find the fact encouraging that creativity can be trained and put to good use no matter who you are.

Creativity is pretty hard to define.  Case in point: 90% of the population believes they are in the top 10% of the population with respect to creativity.  I think a good indicator of true creativity is the ability to surprise people.  It shows you are thinking outside their general collective box.  And those who really do that the best are stand up comics, and other people with well-developed senses of humor.  My 2¢.
