There was a review of Nettle's _Strong
Imagination: Madness, Creativity and
Human Nature_ in Nature a little while
ago, which offers a parallel:
... [He] suggests a couple of
reasons why a little dose of
madness might be a good thing
for a creative artist; mania
provides the energy and drive
necessary for sustained lonely
work, and schizotypy favours
divergent thinking.

Why? Doesn't common sense say that if
one part of a system is overbuilt, the
bottlenecks will occur elsewhere?
