The Myth Of Creativity
Robin Hanson, a George Mason University professor, lashes out at the "think outside the box" perspective of creativity. According to him, creativity is managing and focusing on what you've already got, and not with getting more:
"What society needs is not more creativity or suggestions for change but better ways to encourage people to focus on important issues, identify the most promising ideas, and tell the right people about them. But our deification of creativity gets in the way."
