The Sandbox of Creativity: Escaping, Connecting, and Breaking Through
What I love about music and movies is that they allow me to escape my reality while keeping my mind engaged. They create a kind of sandbox where I can let go. Books help with this too, but they aren’t as effective for me as music and movies. In this sandbox, I can step away from the constant processing of information. I can suspend my thoughts, ideas, and problems—whatever is on my mind—and let them merge with the music and film. Often, this process helps me gain insights and ideas, allowing me to connect dots I might not have been able to otherwise.
So far, I’ve found that AI functions a bit differently from these mediums. When I share my thoughts and ideas with AI, I don’t necessarily get to suspend them. Instead, I get to dissect them, breaking them down into finer details and uncovering what I might not see with my unaided eye—or even with my mind’s eye. As the audio and visual components of these systems improve, we’re going to be able to achieve incredible things in ways that lead to unimaginable breakthroughs.
I think I’ve said this before—and honestly, I think we’ve all felt this to some degree—but I believe humanity is on the brink of discoveries so profound that they might unite us as one. This is where those “Tower of Babel” idiots comes into play. There are those who are afraid—deeply afraid—because they won’t be able to divide us anymore: not by religion, race, or their so-called “shared values.” They fear stepping beyond their comfort zones and looking within to find the common thread that connects us all.
