are we loosing the ability to create?
i was sitting in my room today looking at a small piece of art i made, and it hit me how much of our lives here is just consumption. We wake up, grind through acads, attending the classes just for the sake of attendance doing actually nothing in the class but scrolling consuming brainrot, and the moment we get a break, we again fall into the trap of scrolling be it eating food, pooping or before sleeping. We’ve become professional consumers. We consume lectures notes and tuts to get a good grade no matter if you actually have interest in learning that course and then some people consume alcohol, drugs and chemical compounds to get that high but we end up doing nothing. Only a few amongst us hardly make SOMETHING NEW in the name of projects, writing papers, even they are mostly copies of already existing projects. The creative side in us is literally dying. I feel like we’re slowly turning into machines. That natural side of us that wants to create, ideate build, paint, sketch, or even just tinker with something physical is being traded for a higher CGPA or a better placement. But at what cost? I feel like my brain is actually rotting from the lack of creation, WE(HUMANS) ARE CREATORS, IF ALL WE DO IS CONSUME, WE OUGHT TO FALL.
Don't you think 2 hours given to creating something your own, making art pieces maybe showing off your creativity makes you feel far better than 2 hrs given to scrolling reels? Why is it so hard for us to just take a breath and make something? don't you think doing something creative is really cool, would you actually like to pick up your hobby again? are people really human enough to think and create or are we just becoming another model like claude code writing codes for companies?
