Dissent is not creativity.
No shit
I bet a group can make someone truly beautiful and creative, together
That’s not true. Groups of people can work towards specific goals in a constrained framework and still work creatively within that. Take movies and TV, animation, architecture, music etc. All of these may have hundreds or thousands of people working together and individually behind the scenes. Would you say that therefore they’re not creative or relied on creativity to work?
I know people say that limits kill creativity but I’d say in many cases its the opposite. Limits cause people to think creatively to build something interesting within those bounds.
Not to say thats the rule. Sure, hive mentality and groupthink can kill creativity but its not the case for everything, far from it.
Even ants go rouge for the hive. Anyone who has done swarm logic will say a little bit of divergent behavior will save the swarm. If they don’t they will never find all the food and starve because it gets stuck. stagnation kills, be different.
