Where’s the evidence? Self reported happiness of intelligent people in those situations does not prove anything with regard to collaboration killing creativity.

Where’s the evidence? Self reported happiness of intelligent people in those situations does not prove anything with regard to collaboration killing creativity. What if creativity tends to come with unhappiness?
- yujbbg666 9y agoIf you think of “loneliness” as “unhappiness due to being alone”, and if “creativity tends to come with unhappiness”, wouldn’t that prove the argument? The conclusion doesn’t seem to be the people in groups are unhappy, just that the output isn’t as novel in contrast. Maybe being happy stifles our deeper creative powers? If creating is a reflexive behavior for adapting to circumstance, we need to be less creative on our own when we’re in a group.

- dEnigma 9y agoThere is some research in that direction. Some of it with the result, that sadness/unhappiness actually feeds creativity. https://www.wired.com/2010/10/feeling-sad-makes-us-more-creative/ https://www.wired.com/2010/10/feeling-sad-makes-us-more-crea...
