Eureka

after this you get that Eureka moment – illumination or insight where the creative idea bursts forth into your conscious awareness. The idea must finally be verified. Many of our ideas will turn out to be mistakes, but that’s part of creativity. In the nearly hundred years of investigation since Wallas proposed this theorem, we have not moved much further forward in understanding creativity.

Alan Turing described his thoughts on the science behind creativity in a short piece he wrote about decision making:

“When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons. In vital matters, however, such as the choice of a mate or a profession, the decision should come from the unconscious, from somewhere within ourselves. In the important decisions of personal life, we should be governed, I think, by the deep inner needs of our nature.”
