Is there a connection between mental illness and creativity?

If Rei is any evidence, there most certainly is not.

Creativity is basically otherness.
Mental illness is otherness.

It's like asking if a thing is the exact same thing or something else.

>> No.5189287

A negative correlation. Look at >>5189281 who is among the mentally illest posters and simultaneously the most uncreative.

Yes. A lot of great artists were either bipolar or schizophrenic. However, being bipolar or schizophrenic doesn't mean you're necessarily going to be a great artist.

>> No.5189291

Intelligence is the ability to perceive increasing complicated patterns.

Mental illness is falsely seeing patterns where there are none, or predicting false conclusions from incomplete pattern sets.

It is impossible to become intelligent enough to perceive pattern sets outside the scope of your contemporaries' intelligence without embracing the risk of becoming distracted by false pattern sets.

How can you falsely see a pattern when there is none? I think even the idea of this shows insanity in terms of trying to define insanity. There has been a pattern of this error for a long time.

I have no idea what creativity is. Seems like a mystical term like "talent".
If I had to define creativity I would say its how sensitive your ear is to the muse' song.

>> No.5189387

>>5189368
I'm probably getting trolled here, but if you like Muse then I'm not surprised you don't know what creativity is.

>> No.5189393

>>5189387
the fact that you dont know what a muse is shows you're a fucking retarded shit cunt who doesn't know what creativity is
