There are superior faculties in human beings that are the real sources of creativity.

There are minds (and hearts) which learn from past successes and failures how to project and so seek to 'create' even better realities in the future by way of choices and corollary actions in the present. IMO, You paint a negatively slanted picture based on instances of 'foolishness' (living in 'regret' and being motivated by 'greed' etc.) here, J. This is like someone saying 'fire' is 'bad' because many people get 'burnt' by it. You are misusing your (supposedly) 'superior' faculties to reinforce negatively slanted perceptions and opinions, similar to those 'advanced' by the 'story' of Even's and Adam's 'disobedience' and consequent 'punishment', again just my opinion.
