Thanks, guys, for your input. So I'm not the only one experiencing this. Interesting... The prospective of getting "quality" creative spurts in controlled environment sure sounds encouraging, but I still miss the spontaneous ones that I had all the time. A bizzarre thought comes to mind. Think about the significance of man's entering the symbolic culture 30-40 years ago and the neolithic period (the beginning of agriculture) starting about 10 thousand years ago. These figures are not exactly the same, but they are of the same magnitude. Anyway, they are not precise, and the discrepancy is insignificant compared with the fact that man has existed in his modern biological form for 1.6 million years and in his very modern form = for 100-150 thousand years. WHAT IF ... the emergence of man as a civilized and technological animal (as we know him now) is directly related to his switch to a grain diet. As primitive men ate more carbohydrates, they became sicker and sicker but also more brilliant and creative??? What a scary thought! I hope I'm wrong about this. Would I rather be a healthy and slim dullard or a serious thinker, albeit a sick and obese one? What a choice! Carbohydrates aren't bad for you. You actually need them. You probably don't need the high-glycemic ones. I think if you go back over all the stuff you thought was so "brilliant and creative," you'll find that most of it isn't. martin -- Clark for President http://www.clark04.com/ Martin Smith |
