As someone who picked out the "two categories" of statements with 100% accuracy before looking at the answers...
I think he has a point.
Creativity could be proposed to be conditional on maintaining personal well-being (health) while undergoing exposure to many new experiences (tolerance).
Losing your health during exposure to new things makes you reactionary and conservative and want to cling to set ideas.
Have no tolerance and you won't even want to be exposed to new or uncomfortable experiences in the first place.
But if you can maintain your health, and tolerate exposure to new ideas, why the fruit that comes from both those while undergoing continued diverse experiences is presumably creativity (being in the future because you can only get it after said experiences).
Conterargument is that unhappy creative people exist and are not rare. So does bigoted closed minded creative people.
Unhealthy people can also be both creative and non-creative, both cling to one set of ideas or change their minds constantly. Pain makes you more nervous, frustrated, snappy etc, but you can still be creative.
Conversely, you can be tolerant and healthy, but still completely non-creative, whether it means generating new ideas or creating things. You can be tolerant, healthy and completely passive.
