We admire the discipline, agility and accomplishment of athletes. We watch their finely tuned bodies in action. We make them into heroes and pay them generously as professionals. We wear their gear and spend time watching them play.
But we don’t equivalently recognize that creative thought is characterized by discipline, agility and accomplishment. We can’t as easily see the finely tuned mind in action. So we don’t as often make them heroes or pay them generously as professionals. We don’t wear their gear or widely recognize the significance of their accomplishments.
Why not?
