Creativity is a subconscious period of increased memory association.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Maybe Spiro Agnew was right. Maybe rock music really does rot the mind. This may be great for improving reaction times, but may end up with a kind of societal attention-deficit disorder, where none of us can focus our minds on a problem for more than three seconds. One of my major academic interests lies pretty much outside of emergency medicine.
