I was talking in terms of the world, to create something, you almost always have to destroy some part of the world/civilisation. If it's something important anyway, I'm not talking about a wee drawing or a book. But it's all relative I suppose, and when nothing we do matters, because we can't control our future - or indeed the future of mankind - any sort of creativity we can muster must be a good thing. Even if it is another life - who will inevitably add to the growing problem of the growing population of the most destructive beings we know of.Shaolin_monkey wrote:meu02136 wrote:Critical appreciation?

It is a pretty unicorn isn't? I've called him Nigel.
The same units you managed to invoke minus figures out of a net gain from.
Or it may be better to create nothing. It may even be better still to destroy things, things that don't matter. Things that not only don't matter, but cause many problems. Is the world built to hold so many beings which have the power to destroy it? What does it truly mean to create, does the thing you create have to be important? Does it have to be moral, or even have physical form? If you create an idea, is that a less valid creation?
Anyway, critical appreciation. The units are stars. 5 is the best.
