Creative minds are as rare as "rocking horse poo".
The great lie of our times is that the creative mind resides inside the brain of the progressive, activist, political groupie, etc. The truth is that the creative mind exists beyond the human brain in a way that often sends its host crazy [see photo].
Let us consider the case of Elon Musk as example of a person who is seen by many as a creative. He is an engineer who loves to solve problems and he is very adept at doing just that. But there is no evidence that this man is a creative. The evidence shows that his work has always been aligned with the ideology of those who use a public fear of Climate Change to promote their limited solutions to practical problems. Elon is a brilliant engineer who seems to be brain-locked into incremental change. This is not a person who is likely to go crazy because he is a misfit with his social environment. However... Elon is now moving his support from the green new deal coalition towards those who advocate small government. Perhaps his thinking has changed as he begins to address the issue of creating a viable government on Mars. While addressing this futuristic issue Elon seems wedded to notion that less government is more.
The reason there are fewer creatives than we need is that these people are weird. They see so many things around them that do not make sense to them. They perceive opportunities for great success where others see only failure. They create through images not words. They create through sounds not words. They create through the use of illusion not through delusion. They create through expansion of what can be not by contracting what is. They create through....
