I was reading this chapter of a book for school when I found this passage that particularly stood out:
And like the artists who came before, today’s innovators take what money can’t buy—the desire to share among those who are lonely, the drive to participate among those who refuse to be passive, the need to build from those who don’t simply want to consume—and transform it into products and experiences that people can buy
The whole time I was reading about how creativity flourishes much more in groups (think Renaissance painters, how they were all in one place, and look at how much innovation that directly led to), I kept thinking to myself "hey it's me and MarioSpore", but this moment definitely sealed it.
