No real argument there, but it reminds me STRONGLY of my experience as
a poetic genius about 30 years ago during one of three "scientific"
LSD trips.  Brilliant, I tell you!

On a more practical note, intelligence is not so much about making
connections, but about the selective pruning (or equivalently,
weighting) of connections.  I found this sizable document to be full
of stimulating connections on every page, but containing very little
that could be put to practice.
