Also ‘nice’ ‘very nice’ - ‘Creativity is the courage to bushwhack a new trail’. It might be muddy, there might be ‘mozzies’ but it’s so satisfying having a whack!

So alarming that we are in the swill of mass regurgitation. Great article Ben. This is an essential quest to keep creativity alive.

We also signal through culture that creativity isn’t valued , otherwise why would we have such a high percentage of Hollyweird films being remakes and not originals?

Safe bets.

I can’t stand safe bets or yet another Lara Croft incarnation.

If culture signals it doesn’t value creativity, then what is that saying?

In the 2020s, only 12% of Hollywood top box office are original. In the 90s? That was 50%
