Nietschze's conception of creativity will be tested as LLM's get better, as lots of 'ideas' can be generated systematically. i.e. What if I aardvark + aardvark? What if I aardvark + apple? etc.
Many creatives live chaotically, but that may be due to the inability for most of society to nurture / reinforce their identity to social stability as neurodivergents. I don't know that its the key to the creativity itself.
The way I'm thinking about it right now at least, it requires a willingness to think anywhere. Relevance is still an important regulator, keeping within the bounds needed to ensure the result is interesting to anyone.
this territory is moderated
The willingness to break with conventions in thinking was at the heart of Nietzsche's philosophy. He called it philosophizing with a hammer. This is the prerequisite for social evolution, no matter what technology we use.
