Every creative pursuit - academic research, music, writing, painting, film, photography, self-respecting journalism - is essentially a method to understand the world.
The methods vary greatly, but - once you strip away all the inessential stuff (tenure, fame, "selling out", etc) - the ultimate goal is the same. In all likelihood, these methods influence the final product, which then selects the kind of person who works in any one field.
Or is this "obvious"?
