Tortured artist
Creativity often comes along with mental problems. Many well-known historical figures were quite unstable. Genius and madness are two sides of the same coin, as some would say.
Similar observations happen all over the world, but what are we looking at? Do all artists become mad? Do troubled minds become artists? It's not just a coincidence, is it?
We should have some doubts here, because creative patterns of behavior (3) and (6) are the safe ones. You're supposed to live in peace. I even recommend pushing patients with schizophrenia towards these lifestyles to avoid breakdowns.
Starting from the opposite side, serious diseases shouldn't help you with becoming a great artist. They suck your energy, make it hard to work in one direction, or turn your memory into a mess. Even everyday tasks will become a big problem.
Wait. If creativity is safe on its own, and sick people can't work hard, then where do all these tortured artists come from?
People have some of their values aligned with patterns of behavior, and that leads to inevitable conflicts between different groups. Our artists were caught in the crossfire.
Creative kids don't fit in a reactive society.
It's not because they're a bit different. It's because they have unresolvable conflicts between their values and those of their parents and teachers. It's not a new thing. Our world became biased towards reactive behaviors over centuries. They poisoned professions that used to be full of ideas and experiments. Convenience destroyed individuality.
Being ripped between incompatible proactive and reactive behaviors, kids have to make a choice. Create or adapt? Choose yourself or society? You can't play both sides at once. It'll break you. Poor kids depend on others and this choice becomes a mental trap for them. We should expect bipolar depressions, unfortunately.
There is an irony in the fact that humanity needs creators to make progress, but we do everything to crush them in advance.
It may look odd, but archetypal schizophrenia is actually far less likely to appear in this context. Mirrored patterns to the creative ones are based on lazy consumption, and we rarely force kids into that. It's possible, but not that common.
Many great inventors say, "screw society." It often sounds a bit selfish or lonely, but it's merely an attempt to pull yourself from the trap in one piece and get the job done.
