Gabriel Arazas a0b94026e2 Add notes on Emacs and creativity 
Not much connection between the two (yet) but just something I keep in
mind for the previous days. For the creativity, I focused first on what
creativity is and how I think of it. If ever I have a random realization
then I'll be sure to continue this note or something.

Creativity does not mean originality

  • while we associate creativity with originality, it is not the same and it is a bit misleading
  • oftentimes, we also mistake creativity with the act of coming up with a never-seen-before idea; creativity defines what we can make from already existing ideas

  • some examples:

    • musicians often take cues from other musicians; see Star Wars soundtrack (or this video where I got the idea)
    • video games often get their ideas from others
  • in other words, what we as innovations are often inspired from combining two or more ideas
  • since creativity involves inspirations from already existing ideas including failed ones, A failed idea can be repurposed; in a way, we understand that Information is only acquired when you try to make sense of it
  • though, plagiarism is a different topic entirely
