We tend to find ideas in our own galaxies, never thinking
to go elsewhere to "find" creative ideas.

there, or you find out through a little research what knowledge does
exist. Then you’re in the midrange of the spectrum. You take some
known, put your own spin on it, and you have a somewhat original
solution.
Now, let’s take the far-right extreme. Let’s say no one has ever faced
this problem in this way before. There is virtually no knowledge, direct
or otherwise, to draw upon. Then you have no choice but to create a
solution.
Let’s see how this all plays out intergalactically.
You tend to find in your home galaxy. And you tend to create outside
your galaxy, what you may see as the unknown. But is it really
unknown? Not in the least. Sure, it’s beyond your home galaxy, but
didn’t we just discover that we know a great many things beyond our
own private galaxy, outside our own box? If you think about it, it isn’t
truly a case of finding and creating, after all. We don’t really create new
ideas; we just find them outside our own galaxy.
So, you see, technically you can’t be totally creative.

Scientists have been telling us for years that you can’t really create
anything.
