Today, I started the day with this quote.
Philosopher and writer Friedrich Nietzsche on the power of making a lot and choosing the best:
“Artists have an interest in … so-called inspirations; as if the idea of a work of art, of poetry, the fundamental thought of a philosophy shines down like a merciful light from heaven.
In truth, the good artist’s or thinker’s imagination is continually producing things good, mediocre, and bad, but his power of judgment, highly sharpened and practiced, rejects, selects, joins together; thus we now see from Beethoven’s notebooks that he gradually assembled the most glorious melodies and, to a degree, selected them out of disparate beginnings.
The artist who separates less rigorously, liking to rely on his imitative memory, can in some circumstances become a great improviser; but artistic improvisation stands low in relation to artistic thoughts earnestly and laboriously chosen. All great men were great workers, untiring not only in invention but also in rejecting, sifting, reforming, arranging.”

The next thought was
Why should a cognitive bias be considered harmful if it spurs creativity? A writer or artist always sees the world with a particular lens.
A bias obstructs objectivity or logical decision-making for sure. But it has its own utility.
I also came across a post on schizophrenia where they hear voices because they are unable to suppress the inner voice like an average person does.
How will we view this if the outward reaction is controlled and not maniacal?
Creative Experiments and More 
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this Reena. In The Birth of Tragedy, Nietzsche says that “Beethoven’s The Hymn to Joy” is Dionysian if you imagine the music as a crazy pastoral painting. There is an intricate relationship between creativity, creative thinking, and bias, shedding light on how biases can hinder creativity and providing strategies to overcome these hidden barriers.
