It's so great to be able to find that someone who is like a 'creative soulmate'! This post has certainly introduced me to some very interesting ideas that I have to chew over a little bit so thank you!
I archive a lot of the work that I have done in the past and so every time I go back I find and remember things that I worked on and forgot. Your experience at Hallmark was something that reminded me of a number of projects I worked on and subsequently forgot (or suppressed in my memory, whatever the difference is).
Lastly, just wondering if you think what you said about art (that is an extension of being human and having human thoughts) also applies to science? If so what are the fundamental difference between the two? This is a question that I am still pondering but thought you might have some insight into :)
i do think there are more visual and sensory thinkers, ie, artists, and then more linear thinkers like scientists who are not moved by shapes, colors and sensory things quite as much. However, i feel that the greatest scientists had both parts of them developed, and scientists who are also creative thinkers are the ones who make the breakthroughs: "Imagination is more important than knowledge" this holds true...
One might argue that imagination needs to be fuelled by knowledge, as some of the most imaginative thinkers (artists or scientists) are also those who are most knowledgeable in their respective fields. I would like to think that on Steemit we foster the development of both arts and the sciences equally, or simply don't make a distinction between the two for the sake of convention.
