Terrorism kills creativity?

2009-01-11T10:03:00.000-08:00

Simonton (1990): "Political instability indicated by coups d’état, revolts, and assassinations seemed to assert a negative influence on creativity in science, philosophy, literature, and music in the generation following the instability."

Creativity means economy?

2008-12-25T09:13:00.000-08:00

Lenin once said: “At the start of twentieth century, Communism is Soviet Organization plus electricity. At the start of the twenty-first century, I suggest, ‘the new economy is creativity plus electronics”.

The dominance of internal motivation

2008-12-23T18:56:00.000-08:00

“There are two things about me which people generally don’t know. I’ve never worked in anything, which is glamorous in any sense. That’s point number one. Point number two: I have always worked in areas which, during the time I have worked on them, did not attract attention.

The word success is an ambiguous word. Success with respect to the outside? Or success with respect to oneself? And if it is a success with respect to the outside, then how do you evaluate it? Very often outside success is irrelevant, wrong, and misplaced. So how can one talk about it? Externally, you may think I am successful because people write about some aspects of my work. But that is an external judgment. And I have no idea as to how to value that judgment.

Success is not one of my motives. Because success stands in contrast to failure. But not worthwhile effort in one’s life is either a success or a failure. What do you mean by success? You take a problem and you want to solve it. Well, if you solve it, in a limited sense it is a success. But it may be a trivial problem. So a judgment about success is not something about which I’ve ever been serious about in any sense whatever.”

(Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, the Nobel laureate physicist; American;
he wrote The Mathematically Theory of Black Holes (1983),
Truth and Beauty: Aesthetics and Motivations in Science (1987) etc.)
