Creativity coach Eric Maisel, PhD thinks obsession is a more or less necessary element of creative achievement. Artists comment about their own obsessions.
I love a lot of things but quite honestly researching the intersection of giftedness, neurodivergence and genius is my obsession right now. I will move onto to other things when I have beaten this horse to dust.
It is turning out to be almost some kind of massive conspiracy that is unraveling right now as society fall apart and information only increases in it's abundance. It is amazing how much our narratives for life differ based on where you are and how far you have or have not come. Walking a mile in another man's shoes is not just an incredible way to build empathy it also gives clarity to what is really there in front of you and acts like an intuition focused cross fit training boot camp.
I have learned about trauma, poverty, racism oppression and much more. We have so much data we have never had before that we can reconstruct history with great clarity and greater dimensions more so than ever before; if you know your limits, are discerning and have intuition understood as a part of your creative practice. Creative intellectuals are a thing. A thing that is about to become a booming thing.
Comment about your obsession you say, OK!
