I don’t dispute most of the factual claims in this article.

But this whole lens on what creativity “is” smacks of someone really hoping something so mysterious can be explained using concrete and easy to understand concepts.

I’ve personally known and worked with some real creative powerhouses.

This sort of article doesn’t really address what makes them effective. It especially doesn’t describe how they seem to think about it, which, I would say is the most interesting topic.

Out of curiosity, what were some of your observations from working with these creative powerhouses?

[whiddershins]

So many,

But most salient might be the irrational belief that what you are doing matters.

One podcast I've found to be interesting from the perspective of studying creativity is WTF with Marc Maron.

Especially among great comedians, the process described in the article is essentially the process many people interviewed by Marc have followed.
