You know, I never made that connection in my mind, but yes, academia does seem to kill any and all creativity. More important to conform to a standard, regurgitate with accuracy, and systematize efficiently than to think. Understanding is measured by how closely you adhere to something, not in how your soul depicts or represents it.
I also never thought about that, but it's totally true. My creativity gets zapped when I'm un-stimulated. I need creative surroundings, good music, fun ideas, something...not text, not sitting too long.
Come to me summer days
