Society - Advantages and Disadvantages of Creative Geniuses
Is it an advantage of a civilization or society to have large numbers of creative geniuses in their population bases? It is often said that when innovation moves too fast, change disrupts the fiber and stability of a nation. Does this mean that we need to curtail innovation or reign in the creative geniuses and visionaries of our time? What does history show us in this regard?
Well sometimes we see leaps in productivity, science and the forward progress of a nation due to creative geniuses, then sometimes we see the destruction of a country at the hands of the unreasonable man. So, one could say it is both an advantage at times to have creative minds by the truck loads and in other past periods it has assisted in the crumbling of the society. It all amounts to change. Enlighten me. Here is a thought:
Too many free-thinkers creates instability, multi-directional conflicts and moves a society towards anarchy, thus too much of an advantage leads complex systems to break down and falter under their own weight, even if it is time to right-size the system and simplify, only to start the entire process again - circular.
If it is seen as a disadvantage to have fast changing innovation to a large degree then a society or civilization eventually loses and the forward progression of mankind stagnates. Rule Maker - Rule Breaker scenarios, Bell Curves of Civilization theory, etc.
What about for the actual creative genius, does being one become a huge advantage or a liability to the individual? Well, as such an individual personally, I do not need an advantage, head start or car lengths to win, although surely prefer no disadvantages, but in the end accept those barriers that lie ahead, that is whether I chose to observe them, go thru them, ignore them or go around them. I believe the strong survive and you do what ever it takes for however long it takes to accomplish the goal. What say you?
