Evolution of abilities

Logical, mathematical and verbal skills augment a person’s other abilities...They don't detract from one's creativity...which, by the way, is about thinking repeatedly about something [NOT lightbulb moments]. The regions of the brain responsible for our higher-order logical and verbal capacities evolved after our amygdala did. So, if there is any behaviour that is likely to be unevenly distributed amongst the population...it is the capacity for structured, logical thought.
This is not to say that logical skills are only found in Maths, the sciences, Philosophy, or essay and speech writing!! One can take a logical approach to studying history, to analysing the law, to baking a cake, to understanding another person, or to the architect’s process of design. But mathematicians have their own aesthetic ideals, and could ultimately create artworks that other mathematicians think are beautiful, but which attract critical scorn from artsy types. But the artsy type couldn’t necessarily solve equations, with any amount of practise.

The reason why we can’t get computers to do certain things is that we don't EXACTLY know how we ourselves get the ‘inspiration’ to produce music, to write poetry or to paint vividly and creatively. I think its a numbers game, about risk-taking, and coming up with thousands of ideas, many of them bad. And rhuminating on them - as in when you wake up, and things are clear. Or in those experiments where, although you have no idea how you work out which word compliments each word from a list, you eventually blurt it out as your brain has been processing it all along. Sharing ideas with others like you but also getting input from very different brains has got to help too.
