How is the creative class driving economic development in the United States?
Catherine, there is no creative class or group of individuals as you seem to imply.All humans beings are creative in unique ways.Dissimilarity is a human constant.Persuasion drives change and change is mistakenly conflated with creativity.Is anything new?Yes, but what is new is unknown and what is unknown is not used.Use and utility are components of value that intertwine with creativity.Innovation is merely finding old ways to do new things.Life is inherently and unavoidably redundant.Creativity does not recognize boundaries imposed by human minds. Thought limits creativity.The ocean does not think waves.Thoughts are barriers and filters of actions.Everything that exists is based on repetition and evolution is a circle of events that is linear and a sequence of events that is not repetitive is true creativity.A serum that would vaccinate all human beings from all pathogens would be a human creation worthy of the label creative.Anything that can be imagined is creatable.Humans consume or destroy what they create including one another.As I stated, there are few if any creative humans. Einstein perhaps.The problem is that precedence is eternal.
If Bengalis are intelligent, why is West Bengal poor and backward state?
What Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrowKolkata in 1860Calcutta served as the seat of the Raj since the very first days to 1911. It was the second city for the British Empire. Calcutta was a lot ahead of it's time. Calcutta has seen glory. Bengalis have tasted glory. No where else in India has there been a Renaissance as the one in Bengal. No other place produced more brilliant minds.This is pretty much what you will hear from an average Bengali about Kolkata/Bengal. We are proud people. We have an incredible history. But we have problems.1. What I just did. We tend to live in the past. We are yet to realise that it's all lost glory.2. We are lazy people-We have a REALLY BAD WORK CULTURE The average man working in a government office in Kolkata wakes up early to see the sun rise with a marie biscuit in his hand and hot simmering tea in front of him. He sits till he finishes the very last article in his AnondoBazar or Telegraph, has a good breakfast and takes a bath before getting ready for office. He reaches the office. It's 11 by now. And the first thing he does is to order a fresh cup of tea and starts an "adda session" with his co workers. The files on his desk are towering over him, but he doesn't really care. 3. Our love for bandhs is famous We still think we have a lot to offer to this country. Bring about a “revolution”. Every other college goer in the city thinks of himself as the guy who can bring about a “revolution”. A revolution for what? Well, most haven't thought that through.4. Bad governance Three and a half decade of Left (mis)rule. One can say that points 2 and point 3 are also direct/indirect result of that reign.
