Is creativity something you can train? And if so: what are

I think crativity comes from information consumption, interaction with the world and a little bit of drugs (alcohol included) anything that allows you to jump a little out of the box here and there.

Then you can 'train' how to make this output accessible and pleasent.

Yes, thankfully due to neuroplasticity and the ability to change your mind by training your mind, you can.

if i was that guy id give myself a really big long cock

Both science and Buddhism disagree with you.

>>8952281
Well, one of them created your dumb ass, and here we are all worse of for it, so there is that.

>>8952291
both are run by asians. Asians are not as creative as white people

>>8952296
bait

>tfw writing a book about the phenomenology of creativity and want to spam for 26,000 words about this but also want to go home

fuck you OP

>>8952302
I don't know why I bother anymore. You guys are just assholes.

>>8952306
I bet you are too much of a coward to speak to the woman who created you like that.

>>8952321
I really can't hide your posts fast enough, fucktardo.

>>8952331
Since when did /r9k/ suddenly decide /lit/ would be a good board to hang out on?

Or is this an insecurity/attempt at dominance type of thing?

/lit/ gets name dropped by other boards as the most left-leaning board on 4chan, they probably come from /pol/

>>8952305

Okay, now this is something interesting. You sure you can't impart a tiny bit on what you're writing?

>>8952357
>intellectually white

what the fuck are you talking about kid, shouldn't you be in class right now?

>>8952355
I really don't think /lit/ is all that left leaning, there are equally as many detractors from communism as there are supporters of it. But then again, I guess anything not far-right is too liberal for /pol/

>>8952361
>implying Christianity doesn't have deep leftist intellectual roots

>>8952367
Who fucking cares? Politics are a stupid hobby, nothing more. Leave it on /pol/

>>8952284
how, though?

>>8952443
By practice, dipshit.
You get better at literally you do repetitively.
Me? I've become a damn good shitposter with the time I've put in.

>>8952274
You either have it or you don't.
>>8952282
>drugs
Drugs are a meme, they make people dumber, not more creative.

This isn't twitter, go pretend to be a nigger somewhere else

You filthy normie

>>8952490
u mad bruh?

>>8952284
Nope. Art is a struggle. You either become an artist naturally or you won't be one no matter how hard you try. Most who try to write barely have the passion to get good at it.

>>8952497
lol, god I hate you insufferable cunts who think art is this idealistic struggle and that only those gifted in it can be any good at it.

Is it a struggle for you to accept that you aren't a special artistic snowflake? Creativity is something wholly natural that is fostered and nurtured through use, practice, and training.

>>8952508
Most people just can't do it. Joe Schmoe off the streets will never write a great novel no matter how educated he becomes.

>>8952473
inborn talent?

>>8952515
Maybe he doesn't have the passion and drive, that doesn't mean he can't train himself to be creative. Maybe he spends too much never figuring out his own medium.

It's not so much about inability as it is persistence and drive.

>>8952523
Nope. There are people who write greater works in a few short years than most will in an entire life of honing a craft. You can't teach yourself to be sensitive or perceptive.

>>8952533
>You can't teach yourself to be sensitive or perceptive.
On one hand I disagree and I will have to think on this. On the other hand, it does explain /r9k/ and /pol/ posters

>>8952274
Michelangelo advised his students to find figures in clouds and in the cracks and shapes of the walls of the city. Apparently this type of exercises help with lateral thinking
