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.
