Beta. Wait-wait, I've got a very interesting assumption! A new idea equals to the new form in which to arrange some known things!
Alpha. Is it not what we were discussing for the last half an hour?
Delta. Five minutes at most... After Gamma gave away his last definition.
Alpha. All right, let it be five minutes! What's Beta's discovery, anyway?
Delta. I am not up to it either... to be frank. Beta, can you elaborate?
Beta. ...I realized that a new idea is totally equal to the new form...
Gamma. Totally?
Beta. Yes.
Kappa. OK. This jet... This new idea... It is a new form... But it is not just a "new form"... It is still the new form in which to arrange old things, a rocket and an aircraft... Can we separate them from each other? I mean the form and those things?
Teacher. I'm starting to understand Beta's insight. I would have thought that a new idea relates to some new content rather than a new form... I would have... before, not now.
Gamma. It is difficult to keep in mind all these nuances, but in any case it becomes clearer. That new form is the essence of creativity.
Beta. A new form as a result and as a goal... yes, it is the essence, I agree.
Kappa. Aha! When you arrange old things in a new form you get new content!
Beta. Wow, that resonates! Can we put it this way: you get a new content by arranging the old one in a new form?
Teacher. I say wow too! You guys surprise me!
Alpha. OK, how does this apply to our third question?
Kappa. Is it...
Alpha. That doing arts can be non-creative.
Delta. It applies very well. If you are not arranging old things in some new form while painting, or singing, or writing...
Alpha. New to whom?
Gamma. We talked about this already. If it is new to you, then you are creating.
Alpha. But if it is not new for others?
Beta. Bad luck. Bad for your business... So what? Our subject is creativity, not business.
