Creativity ≠ novelty

Creativity is just making something new. An analogy: I don't eat my partner's pork chops because I've never head pork chops before. I eat them because he made them.

There's (probably) hundreds of thousands of songs about love, for example, but any new song is a net good.[1]

We need your art! It's been done before is not a good excuse to not share.
