It is a long-held idea in critical thought that the ego must suspend judgement in order for the creative process to function, however, and this is the key point, it must step back in and exercise judgement to finish the process. A chimpanzee may eventually write great literature if allowed to use a keyboard, but an ego must eventually make sense of it all. The surrealists/dadaists may belittle the ego but it is the ego that recognizes their usefulness..
