My arty brother asks ` is conformity the negation of creativity` I say what?

Question

sorry business speak such as `thinking outside the box` is automatically banned form the 10 points as being trite

Answer 1

As a conformist, you should obviously let your opinion conform with your brother's opinion, so tell him you agree with him on principle.

Answer 2

It depends what you conform to, even art has rules that must be conformed to without negating creativity.Religious conformity is based on belief and that in itself can produce great creativity.I don't think a belief or a list of rules can stop creativity, after all the pen may be mightier than the sword but a picture paints a thousand words.

Boundaries can be pushed to the limit,creativity can change them.

It means, "Does doing the same thing as other people and trying to blend in kill the ability to just move from you're heart and soul and do what ya really wanta do, make the things you wanta make.

I was wordy when I was a kid, and everybody wondered if I was "real" at all, but it just came naturally, I wasn't tryin' to be better than anybody, and I guess I grew out of it, sorta. It takes time. And some people just stay that way, but they are just as human as everybody else.

Answer 5

ah but if there is conformity in creativity does that not negate creativity as a form of conformity?

try antiestablishmentarianism instead that is far better than creativity or conformism

Answer 6

sometimes, but lack of conformity may hinder creativity. For example, not conforming when driving down a motorway might prevent creativity permanently.

and is the rejection of conformity a form of conformity in itself in order to produce creativity? and therefore, must we reject the rejection of conformity to be creative, and thus conform for creativity?

Answer 7

Creativity is thinking outside the box, while abstract it has to be relative to living on the block. Why are there so many "starving artists" out there?

Answer 10

everything conforms, creativity is just another art of conforming, another way of conformity, negation is nothing, even destruction conforms and creates. Negation cancels everything, creativity and conformity.
