I actually don't think it will happen. If it ever does, that would not necessarily be a good thing. Many forms of creativity are strongly correlated with "abnormal" brain wiring. If you are bipolar, for example, your lows are below average, but your highs are also above average. One day you might be absolutely useless, but another you're capable of thinking things literally impossible for those who don't share your condition.
- divia 19y agoI think that at least some bipolar people would gladly trade the increased creativity during the highs for greater stability, and I think it would be a good thing if they had the ability to do so.
