Yes, Plato's got this ego thing going. He says that lyric poets are just stooges of the gods
while philosophers (scientists, et. al.) are not. You can't prove gods exist or don't, that free
will exists or doesn't, that somehow you aren't under their sway while others are.
This is just another pissing contest.
Poems require craftsmanship, premeditation, objective reasoning. After years of practice these
skills become a part of our subconscious; and, much like a dancer's movements, they become
instinctive, they become a muse, they become available, in what can seem like another entity,
to the writer.
A mathematical proof, a philosophical argument, a technical invention, is often described as
awkward or elegant, as breathtaking, as having come to one in an instant. The structure of
DNA presented itself in a dream. The objective is subjective and versa vice.
Muses are everywhere.
