99%??

Well as the audience to this film I was amazed at how biased it was, but I guess that's a given with any documentary.  Some of the things being said were straight up absurd, and more often than not there were tons of logical fallacies, which had you immersed yourself into the film you would never notice, but looking at it analytically its a very different story than watching it just to watch it.  Though it made strong points that made me want to side with them, their overall views seem absurd as well as illegal...  "The 99%" isn't an accurate representation as the 1% are just outliers in the range of economics which span from those who are actually impoverished and those you are getting along just fine and have more.

The film tried to use emotional appeals to sway the audience, but though they were sometimes effective they went too far in portraying the militaristic police, and the bankers who foreclose on houses.  For me at first it was very effective, but then it quickly become absurd (a word I've used many times already but does describe its use), which made it absolutely impossible to see past the obvious rhetorical strategies employed thus making them ineffective for me.

Creativity: What is it?

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines Creativity as:

(noun) the ability to make new things or think of new ideas.

But I think that creativity is much more abstract than that.  Is it every truly possible to synthesize completely new ideas?  The human brain is constantly processing everything that happens both consciously and subconsciously, so what if we are only subconsciously combining the previous ideas of others?  Obviously the definition of Creativity cannot solely be dumb-ed down to a single sentence, and as such I think this is more of a philosophical discussion rather than solely an educated response as it is more than solely what goes on inside the human brain.  

Creativity is how we express the chaos that exists within our brains, which in and of itself is sometimes chaos.
