One of the key indicator of creativity is how they modify their behavior after mass novelty is achieved. It's distinctively a schizoid behavior, where you shun something that becomes widely known or appreciated by "too many ppl".
It's knowing esoteric facts/connections that allow neural pathways to discover unbeaten path, however its often not without risks. Many artists/actors/engineers/any line of work really remain undiscovered and then there is a sudden wide recognition of their work, much to their disliking.
You know what they say about genius artists, they straight up jack somebody else's work and claim it as their own.

- dereg 4y agoThis is fascinating. I relate to everything you just talked about. Both in the way that I've treated artists, by liking/appreciating them way before they were popular and dropping them once they've achieved fame, and the way that I've treated my own interests. There was a time when I achieved sudden and moderate popularity in a field, which I then blew up by deeply retreating from the spotlight. The life in the public eye can put you in a creative prison, as people expect you stick to a "brand". After that experience, I deeply understood why Dave Chappelle left the spotlight in his prime, giving up $50m to live in Africa. Is there anything that I could read to learn more about this?
