Am I the only one who reads some homoerotic fan-fiction about Michaelangelo passed off as insight, and an unskeptical recounting of a medium "revealing" something about a late artist passed off as fact, and decides that this writer clearly has absolutely nothing useful to say? Who would take such drivel seriously?
Personal, semi-poetic reflections based on wild over-speculation and an erroneous understanding of the world is fine for a diary, but this is on Hacker News with the title "Creativity Changes as We Age", alongside actual scientific studies and sound, fact-based reasoning. This person knows nothing about the science behind creativity, or really anything about science at all.
Context matters; the linked article was excerpted from a memoir, and published under "Arts and Culture". The author made no claims to scientific rigor.
