Negative Capability

#evolution


Ideas go through a process of natural selection to evolve with time. As we diverge in our creative process, disconnected ideas collide. Poet John Keats deemed n==egative capability a critical part of the creative process. The quality of our creative outputs is determined by our ability to hold multiple contradictory ideas in our head.== As we diverge and our mind swirls with ideas, we have to build up the patience to tolerate this step in the process. Negative capability allows us to refine our ideas to get to the best final solution — rather than the first right answer.
