Abstract
Many people seem to associate creativity with positivity and saying yes. Late modern culture—particularly on the internet—is full of positive affirmations of creativity such as “I attract good ideas into my life,” “I create every day and feel fantastic,” and “I release all resistance to expressing my creativity fully.” These are just a few random motivational statements that I have found, which establish a connection between creativity and an affirmation of yes. However, this conceals the equally deep relation between creativity and negation—the no. Or so I shall argue.
