Why are we not creating imaginative creative players like we have in the past.
Because adults know best?
Creativity and Consciousness
Chris Lucas
"A mind that is stretched to a new idea,
never returns to its original dimension
Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)
"In 1968, George Land gave 1,600 5-year-olds a creativity test used by NASA to select innovative engineers and scientists. He then re-tested the same children at ages 10 and 15. The test results were staggering! 98% at age 5 registered genius level creativity, 30% at 10 year and 12% at 15 years of age. The same test given to 280,000 adults placed their genius level creativity at only 2% ! In his book 'Breakpoint and Beyond', co-authored by Beth Jarman, Land concluded that non-creative behavior is learned".
