RE: Good Artist Copy, Great Artist Steal
Dear @ogochukwa,
I have a question... what is the difference between stealing from many vs stealing from one? Wouldn't it still be stealing? Maybe inspiration from many sources? Anyway, just a thought. @ironshield
What Steal from many means is that you have to study broad on something so that you can get Inspiration to birth your own.
It exposes you to the thought process and principles that you need to Involve in creating your Idea.
@ogochukwu
If you steal from many, you go wide, you find common factors and fresh conurbations on old concepts. If you go wide enough, you will find connections between things that you would never expect to have connections (like fifteenth-century Venetian finance and modern-day game theory) and thus attain the closest we can ever get to actual originality.
