Wrestling match

There is no denying that On Creativity by the late and distinguished
physicist David Bohm is a demanding read. Tackle the foreword by Lee Nichol
first, to see what you are in for, and then perhaps the last section, which is a
verbatim record of an interview with Bohm. This sets the scene for the rest of
the book. Creativity is a fascinating subject, and Bohm’s thoughts on it are
profound and stimulating. For example: “Certain aspects of a world that is
infinite . . . in its totality.” How can anything infinite possess totality?
