Society is strong based on its ability to utilize the strongest abilities of each of its individuals. Society is, by nature, a collective. To say that assisting those with disabilities to use thier strengths will make that society weak is as ridiculous as saying that Stephen Hawkings was somehow not worth the technology! Silly, in the extreme. Each individual brings strenths AND weaknesses–for example, you seem to be kind of slow at integrating rather obvious concepts–however, you seem to be quick in terms of finding flaws in other people’s creative solutions. Going from there, it would be best to put you in a position to find the flaws in any situation rather than utilizing your rather marginal skills in generating integrated theories. However, there is no question that you will be able to find a solid career which uses your personal strengths. I’m not worried. I’m certain you will be able to work around your relatively limited creativity to find something productive to add to the culture, in spite of the generative and integrative weaknesses you bring to the table.
