my advice to everyone is just make something analog, doesn't matter what, just create something new with your hands and brain
doesn't need to be inspired, doesn't need to be good even- just making something flips switches in your brain and makes life better

i've always loved the Terry Pratchett Boots Theory of socioeconomics but it's really striking now how it's slowly becoming inaccurate bc so many companies straight up do not make good products anymore. not even rich people can buy things that aren't designed to break in 3 years bc they don't exist

When I was in school for visual communication we went to see a speaker that said "You never want to be the cheap version of somebody else" and that has stuck with me through discussions of AI image generators, knock offs, and leaning too hard into my inspirations.
