Here's a thought:
It seems to me that all these "phenomena" about creatives are really not
about them per se but about their interactions with others (and the
interactions of others with them). That is, I wonder if this situation
isn't better described as a systemic problem arising when creatives work
with certain other types of agents, under certain types of constraints.
Which makes me wonder if focussing on the creatives is really going to be
that fruitful. Perhaps a broader view would be better.
