Creatives: what are your thoughts on that whole "artists steal" idea? Personally I've always found it disgusting and have never had an idea that was not my own. As an artist I want to make something

Outright stealing is dishonest, as we all well know. Making connections between things, to create something new, is basically what both we and artists do. It’s how we as humans make stuff that’s of any worth.

I think you're taking the line too literally.

The idea is that you have to consume to create. Picasso started out by replicating his favorite artists. Some of the greatest ideas were built on another.

Steal like an artist. Not a theif.

Bro, none of "your" ideas are as original as you think. We steal/borrow from culture. That's what insights are for. If you're not finding inspiration in art and culture you're doing it wrong.

You’re constantly influenced by your surroundings. Even if you think every thought or idea you generate is completely original, most likely your subconscious was inspired by something you saw, heard, or read... I don’t think that’s stealing.

Well that how about, "all art is appropriation"? I find that to be truer; something is taken, adapted, and now there's this new weird thing that reminds me of this old thing.

Truly original

True but on the side I do "art" like short stories and poetry. But even here at work what do you think?

You’re talking about the quote Pablo Picasso and Steve jobs would reference...right? You may be missing the point.

The only app I found was KuCoin. 2nd i.e. is the whole Luna thing, ppl say invest in the next 2.0 or wait for some new symbol. I’m so confused on this part.
