How come we never get to be creative anymore?

"To use our whole brain, we have to learn to move more fluidly between tactical and big-picture thinking. In his best-selling book Orbiting the Giant Hairball, Gordon MacKenzie explains why this is so hard for many of us to do. He observes that we're all artists in kindergarten.
