Creativity Changes as We Age

Am I the only one who reads some homoerotic fan-fiction about Michaelangelo passed off as insight, and an unskeptical recounting of a medium "revealing" something about a late artist passed off as fact, and decides that this writer clearly has absolutely nothing useful to say? Who would take such drivel seriously?

Please consider that the OP represents an artist's personal, semi-poetic reflections. Whence the vitriol?

Personal, semi-poetic reflections based on wild over-speculation and an erroneous understanding of the world is fine for a diary, but this is on Hacker News with the title "Creativity Changes as We Age", alongside actual scientific studies and sound, fact-based reasoning. This person knows nothing about the science behind creativity, or really anything about science at all.

Context matters; the linked article was excerpted from a memoir, and published under "Arts and Culture". The author made no claims to scientific rigor.
