just wait and see

I like to believe that these concepts don’t exist. Rather that the only important trait is experience (and practice).

If someone has experience in an activity that is socially defined as “creative” then they are described as creative, but a musician with no experience in painting is not very creative with a paintbrush.

Similarly someone with experience in “physics” will be labelled as smart but they may or may not be able to change a tire.

If you are a rookie and try something new but find that it doesn’t work, it is more likely to be human error rather than a bad idea. The more experienced you are with something, the more comfortable you get with you own ability and thus are able to know when something works or doesn’t.

This allows one to create things like music, mathematical proofs, computer programs etc. But it requires confidence in ones ability which can only come from experience.

What is known as intelligence might be simply defined as knowing lots of information. This definitely comes from experience.

That is why I don’t think humans can be creative or smart, we just get experience in area’s associated with these “labels”.
