for me it has to start with doing
I was thinking this morning about the importance of boxes for creativity
how can you 'think outside the box' when there's no box
thinking outside the box is communication with circumstances
thinking outside the box is creative communication with circumstances
thinking outside the box is creativity
we're all constrained by boxes we take for granted, or boxes of varying degrees of tangibility
the boxes are moving targets - i have a working set of 10 fingers and 10 toes today - it is not likely to be true for the entire duration of my life
where was I?
when I use a tool, it has to do something from the start
what's that 'do something'?
i get bored easily. i don't have much time. i get frustrated easily. i hate ricing. i have so many hours a day and so many days a week and I don't want to spend sunday morning re-writing my neovim config
there's no joy in that for me (I almost did that today)
but there's joy in using tools
there's joy in thinking outside the box
now really, where was I?
I'm procrastinating. see you later.
we're gonna need a better box
what if you made a box
then you thought outside the box
then your thinking outside the box became a dynamic property of a slightly different, slightly more interesting box?
then your next solution to 'thinking outside the box'
what would happen then?
