Repeating is in all cases something wasteful, regardless whether it's written, shown, said, sensed. Granted, there is different kinds of reiterating, I see it as scope-based information.

If data is transferred to a group of persons, for example, someone in a meeting said someone stole his coffeecup, it's pointless for the same someone to enforce the details of the theft on a person attending the meeting, it takes time for both parties and it makes the receiving party annoyed in most cases.

On the other hand, if the victim of the coffeecup-crime want to relay his story to someone outside the original meeting, he has to repeat his story in some way or the other. The repeatal is subjective to the story teller, the source material, but to no one else.

The main reason behind gatherings, public speaking and the "reply all"-function in email-clients is to remove unnecessary duplication of information and procedure. In most cases the reprisal of data is destructive and will lead to even more replication of the source information.

Fuel for creativity, is that something concrete, like buildings from the 70s, or abstract, as everything else from the same time, but even if we would know the exact specifications for triggering and sustaining such state, it wouldn't matter since the person suffering a creative shock has to output it with sense and proportion, objectively.

A heightened sense of creativity can probably appreciate a box of cereal in a cupboard as a masterpiece, objectively; it is just breakfast. This in turn could be seen as a critique of all the new "strange" art compared to regular portrait paintings and sculptures of naked greeks, but it is not, making art has to be a creative process, appreciating it doesn't have to be.

This could also be the reason why wine is served at art galleries, is wine creative fuel?

Since I don't generally know the thought-pattern of those who read what I write I basically shouldn't generalize, or even think about how those think and react when reading the words that I have written in this sentence. With that said, self-reference is awesome.

What I wanted to say is that when affected with good stuff, it triggers a response in stressful creativity, also known as happiness in me. What stressful creativity is is another post, in general terms it is a sense of being creative but not being able to do much about it, ie, not pouring it out
in a appropriate container.
