Can Someone Switch From Being P-Creative to H-Creative?

What is creativity and are their different types of creativity? The answer is yes, and when we study the great innovators we find that often they are either P-Creative (Psychologically Creative) or H-Creative (Historically Creative). H-Creative would be an original thought that no one had ever had before, so obviously this type is not so common. Psychological Creativeness is when you borrow ideas, concepts, shapes or perhaps, designs from one place and apply them in a creative way somewhere else.

Can someone switch between the two? Yes, it happens all the time, in fact, someone who is H-Creative and has completely original thoughts may have 1000s of more P-Creative Thoughts. But someone that is P-Creative thoughts may have an H-Creative thought but, also may not. So, can people who are P-Creative be taught or find a way to be H-Creative?

Indeed, if we can figure out a way to allow the creative component of all humans to run at maximum through technology, neuroscience or some other creative innovation "now" this would also prove that humans are worthy and viable in the future. If not, then perhaps, in the future an AI machine or combo (human + machine) will find a "pure organic human" invalid as a worthy life form.

Which is the big debate on AI, why create something that will rule you and then perhaps through its far superior ability to reason decide that humans are nothing more than head lice on said planet, thus are not needed, and therefore should be removed?

A P-Creative individual sharing information from many industries, and sectors and borrowing ideas, like using a wheel in an otherwise non-typical situation, or as one think tank member used as your example; taking a fence and putting it around something that it had not ever been used for, then this is of value and unique, but not H-Creative. However, if they then borrowed concepts from physics like a virtual fence of sound, gravity, time, etc. and actually built it, then that could be both H and P creative.

Once someone masters the fine art of enhancing creative genius and boosting human IQ to 200 plus numbers then the chances are these Human (+) individuals would eventually come to H-creative ideas on a regular basis. For humanity, obviously, the more the better and the more knowledge and observations or sharing of this information with other P-Creatives or H-Creatives the more typical this will become.

Thus, it is not only AI computers that will hyperspace humanity or cause the singularity, as per Ray Kurzweil states, but also humans themselves, which judging by the share of information, (internet now and 5-years from now), we no longer have incremental forward progression but a hyperbolic model for both humans and AI computers.

Perhaps these lines intersect at a point unexpected like a Black Swan event or perhaps this is where mankind blends with machine or where Science divides into a new paradigm of believers, like a religion, will this cause humans and machines to be at war or will a truce be drawn to secure a peace, that involves benefits to both? All this philosophical talk on creativity begs so many more questions for us to answer such as;

• Where will those humans who decide to remain organically pure thru the more natural evolutionary process, what will become of them?
• Do they become servants to the second combination or the two other higher powers?
