They compared it to the effect on creativity in an authoritarian regime and locking someone's head in a cage with rats.

> Well this is just like humans. Totalitarian societies don't produce great creative work.

The clear implication that it's "just like humans" is that we shouldn't be surprised because it is comparable to an authoritarian regime.

Feel free to disagree but that is the limit to which I will engage in a semantic argument, I don't wish to engage in any further dissection of the comment.

  • You wrote further above that "I don't understand the notion", and that was spot on. Should've stopped there rather than here, in my opinion, but feel free to disagree.
