Creatives

posted December 20th, 2015 at 7:25 PM

I really don't like people who identify as "Creatives". The reason is they seem very close minded about the definition of a creative person. Being creative doesn't only mean you create art, and I can prove this. There is a very famous person in the accounting/finance field, Charles Ponzi. He was alive in the 1920's, and got so creative with bookkeeping that he's still known today. He may not have painted a picture, or sculpted something, but to say he wasn't creative is a lie. Everyone is creative, you just need to find the way in which you are creative. As a final parting shot I've always found it funny how all "creatives" seem to only use Mac, not so creative to me.

My only complaint with “creatives” is that “creative” is an adjective, not a noun.

(BTW: Have you stopped to consider that most creative types use Macs only because they're the best tools for that sort of work? Suggesting it's not creative is like suggesting painters aren't creative because they all use paintbrushes and paint.)

You want a life of creativity?

Scientists and inventors are also creative. As someone who studied in a creative field, I totally agree with op. Many people use 'creative type' labels as an excuse to be disorganized, messy, flakey, foppish, and hide /justify substance abuse. To them I say grow up!
