No, it doesn't seem very creative to me.
I don't think I've ever sounded so cynical in my life, but something about the way sci-fi fandom bleeds into real science really makes me deeply uncomfortable.

You don't think exploring a problem/possibility space (heh) that is probably unobtainable is an effort in creativity?
cynicism and critique are comfortable positions imo. i appreciate the relatively newfound cultural shift back towards earnestness (although i can already feel the pendulum starting to swing back)
