[video available on Spotify] i’ve been asking myself for a long time, have all creative things been done before? has every piece of clothing been created? has every movie been made? has every song been written? humans have been expressing themselves creatively for thousands of years and part of me is starting to wonder if we’ve hit our limit. have we created everything that’s possible to be created? i know for a fact there are incredible creatives today, but as a whole, it seems like a lot of what’s being produced on a mainstream level is not up to the standard that mainstream creativity used to meet. now, I also need to mention that everything i’m about to say could be complete bullshit. When in doubt, remember that everything i say is a hypothesis and i’m so open to other opinions and people telling me i'm wrong. let’s get into it. Learn more about your ad choices.

单集文稿 ...

  • Hello.

  • I've been asking myself for a long time, have all creative things been done before?

  • Has every piece of clothing been created?

  • Has every clothing trend been worn before?

  • Has every movie been made?

  • Has every song been written?

  • Has every piece of art been painted?

  • Obviously, nothing can ever be exactly replicated again in the creative sphere, right?

  • Somebody could exactly copy a painting, but it would still never be the same painting as the original painting.

  • But humans have been expressing themselves creatively for hundreds of years.

  • And part of me is starting to wonder if we've hit our limit.

  • Have we just created everything that's possible to be created?

  • Is there anything we have yet to discover in these creative categories?

  • Or is something else going on?

  • Okay, before we start getting too deep into this, everybody hold your horses, because before I continue, I have to make a few statements.

  • I don't want this to get lost in this conversation because this is really important.

  • There truly are incredible creative people today, and I'm going to be talking negatively about all of these different categories.

  • But the thing I want you to remember is that I'm not talking about everyone in these categories, but rather I'm talking about the overall feeling about these categories.

  • Because, like, you can't look at the category of, say, film and think of it on an individual level, on a movie to movie basis because it's, like, impossible to even comprehend that.

  • So instead, for the sake of this conversation, I'm looking at the average quality overall of what's being produced.
