Because they imply a safer and longer life and the creativity of dead people are zero. I think it makes some sense.



There might be slightly positive causal correlations between health and creativity (probably not too strong though because there are lots of mentally deranged successful artists), and, more plausibly, between tolerance and creativity, but that's not enough profundity.

It abuses a poetic/proverbial form to only state weak to non-existent causal associations and henceforth it is bullshit.
