Telling the difference between social and antisocial high creativity
Nietzsche often seemed to support
criminals, but he was referring mainly to highly creative individuals
and to high culture in comparison to mediocre individuals and low
culture. For example: “Punishment does not purify, simply because
crime does not sully.”
Although I suspect that Nietzsche had
authority problems, having been early raised without male authority
(later perhaps seen in his love/hatred of Wagner), and he was a bit
of a sociopath, the point to make, which opposes Nietzsche's aristocratic
radicalism regarding creativity, is that we need to really know the
difference between social and anti-social high creativity.
The highly creative psychologist
Raymond Cattell understood this problem well and he and his students
developed psychometric tests to help tell the difference between
social and anti-social high creativity, so that we may know better who
to invest in. Although psychometric tests are not always predictive,
psychometric tests have been increasingly forbidden because they do
not fit in with the bogus culturally Marxist agenda of political correctness.
Today high and low creativity are
mainly of the anti-social kind in art and philosophy, probably at least somewhat do to Nietzsche. I think that the conservative social, not anti-social, creativity seen here in the religious philosophy of theological materialism with the Twofold Path, has a creative social advantage over Nietzsche's
will-to aristocratic radical individualism. The antisocial relativism
and nihilism of postmodernism has been killing us.
