Does anyone think that these vices come about because creative answers are found when crashing opposing worlds, and creatives seek to crash into as many worlds as they can? Isn't it the ability to see the world outside of itself that gives someone new insight? Is it wrong that I think of such things as tools instead of vices?... or has my creative lifestyle warped my thought process?

I also disagree. Creativity requires that someone see rules as suggestions, and then go beyond them to ultimately accomplish what the rules were trying to take you to in the first place. In my experience, programming takes a lot of creativity to make a more efficient process... creativity is like seeing the world as a puzzle when everyone else is spacing out.
