Death By Support System
- The paradox of creative work is that it’s very hard to do alone but doing anything with people (let alone something that requires such application of taste) means that work gets turned into discussion
- Your support system becomes the bottleneck
- The ideal set up is probably an artist collective (a scene) that provides witnessing and support but doesn’t meddle in decision making
- Involve people in the decision making process later
- “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”. For ideas to reach escape velocity into reality, you need to go alone.
