JA WestenbergI’ll admit something uncomfortable: I’ve never had an original idea.
Every essay I’ve posted, every word I’ve written, every argument I’ve ever made - they all have their ancestors. Sometimes I know them, sometimes I don’t.
I'm okay with that.
Sordid Amok!@Daojoan Yup. And thinking they have to do something original prevents too many people from doing anything at all.
Mugita SokioNobody can have an original idea. That's from a Tavistock Institute experiment, I think. Originality is something I've never really had to begin with. However, like my producer, Neigsendoig, we can find creative ways to do something, but that doesn't mean they're original.
Lee 🏖️@Daojoan Every time someone says something along these lines I get reminded of the "Everything is a Remix" film, which first woke me up to this.
C64tone@Daojoan that was great. Many thanks Joan.
