Creativity Inhibitors

Social networks absorb a significant part, if not all, of the individual’s creativity.

The short and ephemeral formats of expression that they favor contribute to the gradual disappearance of the ability to produce constructed content. They de-educate the creative in us to the advantage of the depleted and circular creative impulse within the framework of expression of these networks.

A process of creativity requires taking a step back, an ability to commit to such a process, to investigate the parts of one’s consciousness in order to let these elements of life resonate and shine out.

The use of social networks implies a low level of consciousness, nose-in-the-timeline type and blocks the creative profile in us to express a consumption / reaction type of behaviour.

Each reaction (liking, subscribing, commenting) contributes to making us splash around longer in the flows of information, where it would be preferable for us to grab some of the branches and other materials passing within our reach and return to the shore in order to question ourselves, to dig further, to manufacture, to elaborate, but there is something exhilarating in the flow of floating debris.

The addiction pattern is excited and sharpened and each minute spent on those platforms moves us a little further away from the salutary injection of consciousness… which alone can put a healthy distance between us and the flow of debris.

The slap of reality.

Precisely, when through the first signs of consciousness arising from a survival instinct, dizziness begins to appear, the user may have an intention to push this experience ever further away and therefore accelerate the flow of dizziness, thus moving away from the process of creation within.
