It's not really a detriment. It's like...for me anyway, I see a problem and then I work really hard to find the solution. I'm good at things like that, including big scope solutions. I'm inventive, maybe, but I'm not creative either.
[ He grins though. ]
So the solution to that is, you just have to make a friend who's like that. My friend Chrome has some seriously amazing insight and imagination. If I told you what he's done, it wouldn't sound impressive, unless you knew him. Like, he came up with a waterwheel, which I'm sure you know what I mean. His tribe had no concept of science, or principles and at the time, he'd only been learning bits and pieces from me for a few months. He came up with that all on his own.
[ His expression softens a bit. ]
It was really very impressive, considering the aspects surrounding it. Then I showed him how what he just invented, or I should say reinvented, what it was really good for. I make friends for the skills I lack, so I guess that's probably my best advice.
