Depressive Realism: Depressed people have a more accurate view of the world because they’re more realistic about how risky and fragile life is. The opposite of “blissfully unaware.”

Curse of Knowledge: The inability to communicate your ideas

Creativity requires divergence (collecting inspiration) before convergence (synthesis and creation), not shortcuts or AI automation.
