      Just like carbon is like a very useful connecting atom whose presence labels sth as "organic" so is the "I" thought whose presences labels sth as "mine".

      Imagine a jigsaw puzzle where you get a lot of carbon pieces that connect to everything. You can build all sorts of things because carbon makes it so easy to connect things. Now imagine that all those carbon atoms are taken away. The output space of the puzzle collapses.

      This coalescing "eureka" or "insight" moment feels like a puzzle being solved. A whole bunch of open threads and explorations collapse and everything feels 'whole'.

      Creativity works the same way. Being able to cook up something good with exactly the leftovers you have feels very 'insightful'. Being able to too easily hack over constraints using a universal combinator makes things feels 'hacky' and not 'whole'.

      E.g. just tossing everything into fried rice isn't particularly creative since it's so easy to do so. The infinite supply of rice, just like the infinite supply of "I" makes it too easy to drown out uniqueness w/ homogeneity.

      Technically the puzzle is 'solved', but all solutions looks the same. A parallel in programming is when a new solution is proposed that is basically "global state storage but with extra steps."

      Instead of combining things in a way that creates sth new they are combined via a string of intermediate 'rice' grains that solve every problem the same way enough masking tape solves every problem.

          Because something new is not created, the old does not disappear. Is is merely buried. True newness necessitates complete destruction of the constituent parts.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1326993776540205057?s=20 …

          Relationships that arise from a desire to lose oneself in the outwardly perfect story of another are doomed to failure. In many ways, a relationship necessitates that the two are broken in complementary ways so that the mutual destruction is palatable.
