I wrote about a related subject here: https://sonnet.io/posts/hummingbirds/ https://sonnet.io/posts/hummingbirds/
Also, the difference between children and adults when it comes to creativity is a bit deeper. I agree that it's bread out of us. Two semi-random examples:
- shaming kids for making mistakes or just doing things differently, but also
- just the mere fact that they're starting to learn how the world around them operates and responds to their actions,.
At the same time it's likely that children achieve it through different internal processes, without a strict split between divergent and convergent thinking demonstrated by CT scans.

- 65 2y agoInteresting. I was recently stuck trying to think of a new side project idea. I basically built all the stuff I wanted and now was in this territory of trying to find things to make. I spent some days messing around with various ideas. How about data? How about games? How about... uh... physics simulations? But I can never force myself to make an idea that won't give me utility in life. My solution was to lay in my bed for a hour and a half, thinking about stuff. Really, anything. I got a good idea out of it that I'm now working on and excited to continue working on. And you know when you get a good idea, it sticks in your head. Stephen King said it best: "My idea about a good idea is one that sticks around and sticks around and sticks around."
