if no one is creative, one of the uncreatives is still more creative than the rest. we wouldn't be extinct, just boring.
if no one had ever been odd or different, we would never have become the species that we are. we really wouldn't be human in any sense of it at all either.
Yin-yang dynamics ensure its impossible not to be creative because everything resembles the initial creative impetus of the Big Bang. Your brain itself is a creative engine that only incidentally happens to resemble a computer because everything that exists revolves around what is missing from this picture. What you do not know and cannot know become much more important when you realize they can describe what's missing from this picture as being able to substitute for anything it might contain. A black hole is gravity without mass and NASA has tested a reactionless drive where "nothingness" can substitute for inertial mass, while an automated version of Maxwell's Demon can convert information directly into energy without expending any in the process. The question is not merely what exists, but also what does not, and without accounting what is missing from this picture creativity becomes impossible, as well as, our sense of humor suffering. The implication is that a simple metaphoric logic a child can understand should be capable of expressing a systems logic that expresses a Conservation of Creativity and Efficiency or Creation and Destruction.
i just wish houses and villages could be as different from each other as we are meant to be as individual people. culturally and ecoidionomically too.
OK I just posted this in another thread but seems completely appropriate here too. http://youtu.be/8Uee_mcxvrw
Yes I think every person has a "thing" they like or do but are too embarrassed to do it in public. The reasons could very, get arrested, get punched who knows.... but I think everyone has somthing. Not sure I'd call people weird cause of it.
absolutely true. diversity is the nature of reality. as sapient beings we are not exception to that. the idea of there being some one size fits all 'norm' is a complete fantasy and a self serving myth. of course there are reasonable constraints on behavior, but this begin and end with consideration. sanity means not stumbling over our emotional shoe laces. has nothing to do with imitating anyone's expectations of each other. if anything, it is precisely where people try the hardest to imitate each other, that you will find the most occurrence of real mental illness. the logic of this ought to be obvious. our creative and thus diverse nature, is really the only advantageous quality we observably have over other life forms.
posting "everyone is a weirdo" at Hip Forums is kinda like shooting fish in a barrel....LOL we all be weird, odd, eccentric, obsessed, damaged in same manner or another, that is why we congregate here and find such rapport with each other.
I may be a weirdo, but the contents of my head is in tune with itself. "Normal" people seem weird to me. I just couldn't live the straight life. I'd rather die.
When I had dogs if anyone heard how I spoke to them at home they would have thought I was nuts lol... and my mother growing up was worse with the cats (and I'm sure still is)
I have full conversations with my dog. We talk about all kinds of stuff and he listens very intently.
If everyone's a weirdo, than being weird would be considered normal, therefore making the statement "everyone's a weirdo" false.
In the US - yes - and true to a greater or lesser extent in some other countries but by no means universal - ireland, San Marino, Singapore come to mind
