RE: Brainstorming, Storm in Brain... / Brainstorming, Sturm im Gehirn...
You bring up an interesting topic, I was particularly drawn to the reference that hunger is not a good muse (at least for most people).
I was reminded of the old theory of the ‘Maslow pyramid’ (or hierarchy of human needs). In which it was indicated that each higher level of the pyramid depended on satisfying (at least to a sufficient extent) the conditions of the lower levels

I admit that there are historical cases of musicians, writers, painters, and other artists, who were able to create impressive and historical works despite being in very adverse conditions (whether due to illness, economic shortages, hunger or other causes). But, exceptional cases are not the rule of the common. In our case, the usual thing is that if our ‘base reality’ corners us, we have to put aside the pursuit of the upper level of the pyramid in order to fulfill the lower levels. We do that, or we endanger our own survival and that of the people who depend on us.
I confess that I have lost a lot of contact with the platform. And I have had personal reasons for this. So I was a bit surprised by the mention. I appreciate that, because it motivated me to think about it and write a response that would (at least) be worth reading.
Hi, nice to read from you... Yes, I had noticed that there is only ‘Check my latest fight’ from you... Too bad. I found your translation project exciting - and well done. Maybe Steem wasn't ready for it yet.

Thanks for reading. I was certainly sorry to put my translations aside, but I had to devote myself to other activities, I had to make sure the food was on the table (personal smile), which is very consistent with Maslow's theory.
On this side of the world, there are proverbs that point out very true things (although cruel or regrettable), such as: 'The urgent forces us to postpone the important'. Let me clarify, what we call urgent may not actually be something we want to put first on our to-do list, but it is inevitable.
What makes the idea in the previous paragraph regrettable is that it is quite true, and many people have examples in their own lives.

Hi @pedrobrito, I believe it was definitely worth the read and an excellent contribution to the theme. I will definitely be taking your opinion into account for my first sum up of opinions, which will come, at the most, during next weekend. I would definitily value your continuing atention and any further participation on this matter.
Thank you very much for your input and the time you spent on it.
Cheers,
Pedro
In that case, it might help if you tag me when you want me to find out, because I'm actually kind of offline, but when I check, I usually see the posts and replies I'm tagged in 😀👍📝
