Silence the concerns

Many creatives right now spend a lot of time…

Complaining about AI
Complaining about what a company is doing
Complaining about what other artists are doing
Complaining about the job market
Complaining about clients
Complaining about not having enough time

None of these things are unreasonable.

But I can’t help but wonder, if that time were reinvested into optimistically doing one’s best work, with the time, skill, resources and audience available to them today, in spite of the rest… revealing to the rest of the world what a focused deployment of original creativity looks like…

…Would that not silence so many of their concerns?
