“Creativity is not allowed because mistakes are not allowed: (NP)

I really love this idea – since I also see mistakes as a learning tool for life (they need to exist and be there). I get what you mean by creativity being stifled in religious communities – religion can do that – it lays out ‘do’s and dont’s’ and a system – and either you find yourself pleasing that image or being rejected for not doing so. Maybe Christianity is becoming idolic in nature – with this church thingy? But most people that want to be themselves (and be creative) – usually leave church – since at church there brains are sometimes in suspended animation.

That was a great video. The point near the end is interesting – if humans were removed from the earth, it would flourish. It seems to me that most people take that as an indication that we are the enemy of the earth – when in actual fact the earth was created for us. It’s like saying “If you stopped all purchases, your bank account would flourish.” Of course it would, but that doesn’t mean that purchasing is bad. Obviously, he doesn’t mean it in the sense that we should all peace out – but there are many scientists who do think that way – and i find it interesting that the other perspective isn’t obvious to them.

This may not make sense – i’m not an experienced blogger like NP haha.
