"Those Crazy Ideas" - Isaac Asimov on Creativity

64.233.169.104

"I think therefore I am" is not from Aristotle but Rene Descartes not a good way to start :P

Is this even by Asimov? It's hard to imagine him making such a mistake.

"President, Jamar A. Martin" added the first paragraph. This is more clear in the actual .doc. Some short phrases can be matched up in Google's indexed version of the publication of the essay.

The mistake was added by someone else in the foreword. The essay is genuine - I originally saw it in a vintage dead-tree collection.
