    nope. see "also sprach zarathustra", vorrede, part 5: "ich sage euch: man 
    muss noch chaos in sich haben, um einen tanzenden stern zu gebären. ich sage 
    euch: ihr habt noch chaos in euch" (kritische studienausgabe, vol 4: 19). in 
    my clumsy amateur translation this is: "i tell you: one must have chaos 
    inside of oneself to give birth to a dancing star. i tell you: you still 
    have chaos inside of you." a-and the teaching of eternal recurrency is 
    n o t  meant to turn off creativity. actually, it's the other way round: 
    live every moment in such a creative way that it can come back in the future 
    without terrifying you! amor fati: love of fate ...
