I think you'd have to admit that all else being equal juggling is more creative than not juggling, at least a little. Its just that in today's world most don't find watching a person juggle to be very interesting, but it's more interesting than watching a person just sit there and stare blankly into empty space. > I think that creativity is the ability to generate coherent novelty. > It needs one more attribute, it needs to be interesting; firing a paintball gun at a canvas will produce a novel pattern never before seen on this planet, but it is unlikely to be judged very interesting by many. Therefore creativity is not in the thing itself but in the eye of the beholder; what's new and exciting to me may be old hat and boring to you.
