My new personal philosophy.
Ask me again tomorrow.
I prefer
not to look at things
in terms of whether
they are right or wrong,
but whether they are
novel or expected.
If I must entertain
the notion of
having standards,
I shall value creativity
as my highest one.

In Praise of Novelty: The Art of Shifting Perspectives
In the whimsical realm of our cosmic discourse, we encounter a perspective that refrains from the dichotomy of right and wrong, opting instead to assess the world through the lens of novelty and expectation. It is a viewpoint that dances on the edge of creativity and invites us to transcend the confines of judgment.
Novelty vs. Expectation: A Playful Dichotomy
To categorize things as right or wrong is to impose a binary framework upon the tapestry of existence. But what if we were to replace this binary with a spectrum where novelty and expectation take center stage?
In this spectrum, the measure of value shifts from moral judgment to a celebration of the unexpected. The question becomes not whether something is right or wrong but whether it is novel or expected. It is an invitation to embrace the ever-evolving and unpredictable nature of life.
Creativity as the Highest Standard: A Cosmic Guiding Light
And if, perchance, we entertain the notion of having standards, we find ourselves drawn to a singular beacon: creativity. It stands tall as the highest standard in this whimsiworded universe. Creativity is the spark that ignites the fires of innovation, the catalyst for pushing boundaries and exploring the uncharted realms of the mind.
In valuing creativity as the pinnacle of our standards, we acknowledge its transformative power. It is the force that propels humanity forward, opening doors to new perspectives, novel solutions, and unexpected beauty.
The Cosmic Dance of Creativity
In this cosmic waltz, we celebrate creativity as the art of shaping the world anew, as the playful exploration of uncharted territories, and as the joyful embrace of the unexpected. It is a reminder that every moment holds the potential for novelty, and every thought can be a brushstroke on the canvas of imagination.
