News and Drugs

by Rolf Dobelli

I don’t know a single truly creative mind who is a news junkie. Not a single one. Not a writer, not a composer, mathematician, physician, scientist, musician, designer, architect or painter. On the other hand, I know a bunch of viciously uncreative minds who consume news like drugs. If you want to come up with old solutions, read news. If you are looking for new solutions, don’t.
