  • That’s not true. Groups of people can work towards specific goals in a constrained framework and still work creatively within that. Take movies and TV, animation, architecture, music etc. All of these may have hundreds or thousands of people working together and individually behind the scenes. Would you say that therefore they’re not creative or relied on creativity to work?

    I know people say that limits kill creativity but I’d say in many cases its the opposite. Limits cause people to think creatively to build something interesting within those bounds.

    Not to say thats the rule. Sure, hive mentality and groupthink can kill creativity but its not the case for everything, far from it.




  • The fallacy fallacy

    Just because an argument contains a logical fallacy doesn’t mean the argument is necessarily incorrect.

    An example:

    Person A: This food is better for you because it’s all natural

    Person B: appeal to nature, therefore you’re wrong and it’s not better for you

    The food may well be much better for you but person B has assumed that the opposite is true because person A has used a logical fallacy and has themselves fallen into a logical fallacy.
