The Creative Trap: When Innovation Serves the Status Quo
Picture a homeless man with an extraordinary voice singing for spare change on a cold New York night. His talent is undeniable, but is he truly being creative, or merely using his gifts to survive within an unjust system? This encounter crystallizes the central tension explored in "Against Creativity" - how capitalism has hijacked our most powerful human faculty. Creativity was once revered as a divine power to create something from nothing. Today, it has been reduced to a marketable skill, weaponized to serve economic growth rather than human flourishing. As "creative industries" generate billions globally, we must ask: has the revolutionary potential of creativity been neutralized by the very system it once sought to challenge? The transformation has been so complete that creativity - once the domain of rebels and revolutionaries - now primarily reinforces existing power structures while giving the illusion of freedom and innovation.
