What George Lucas and Kurt Vonnegut?s brains tell us about genius and insanity ? Quartz

So this is a really nice long read but not too complex more like something you could read to relax in a bath or something. Anyway...there has always been this mysterious link between creativity and mental illness and it is basically an interview with a guy who scans the brains of geniuses and takes histories of them and their families....there isn't any outcome mentioned per se so much as it's a build up for the future publications for this guy but it's well written and there is a lot of detail in famous people who have sz or mood disorders in their families. And it's well written so there is an inherent pleasure in reading it....

So I've been into polls lately so I'm going to ask a question....

Do you consider yourself to be more creative than other people you know without mental illness?
