Consider this. If your creativity can be stolen, you never had it.

AI doesn’t drain the well. It shows whether the well was real or a puddle in the rain.

Swap AI for government, media, or the neighbor’s barking dog. The formula is the same: “Something outside me has the power. I’m powerless unless I fight or control it.”

That loop keeps us from touching the one thing that can’t be stolen. Our power to create what we need.

Have you ever noticed that blame is wired into societal conditioning? The script: feel safe. Better to invent a villain than admit your own brush sits idle. The panic is always a rerun. New threat. Old fear. Same playbook: Gasp. “Danger!” “Salvation!”

Pick sides. Defend. Fight. March in circles.

Real power slips away. “Leaders,” systems, tech — all get your power, trust and attention.

Blame wraps you up, warm and useless. Drop it, and the chill hits: Who do I shout at now? How do I matter if there’s no fight? What’s left when nobody’s there to blame?

Most run back. Some stay. And in that silence: curiosity breathes. Questions without enemies. Creation instead of performance.

This is not the AI era because humans created AI. We just forgot. Can we let go of what we were sold and make it the truly human era?

AI? Not your boss. Just a paintbrush. Quit handing it every choice like leftovers.’

Are you painting something that’s really yours or blaming the brush for the art you never started?
