Creativity and Developmental Correlations

The older that you get, the more constrained your thinking becomes. And so it is that sort of like the more conformist you are, the more it's being beaten out of you. Creativity seemed really in that sweet spot when they would think of things outside of the box but they still used some amount of constraint. Like a paperclip can't be an airplane, it just can't. But it can be this, this, this,. and this and maybe those are things you wouldn't think of if you were always thinking inside the box.
