This is a very interesting read so far. New perspectives to think about. Some of the best creators and influencers (Shakespeare, Dr Seuss, MLK Jr) didn’t re-invent the wheel but pulled from other things. One of MLK’s most popular speeches was drawn from J Wallace Hamilton who pulls from Kind David (specifically Psalm 8)
