"great artists steal" was picasso's line It's more than art — all forms of tacit knowledge begin with imitation There's no shame in copying, it's part of the journey toward finding originality https://www.resextensa.co/p/copy-first-create-later

Orson Welles on director Jean Renoir, 1979 "When we strain for perfect clarity, what we finally achieve is perfectly banal. That, he was sure, was the real trouble with Hollywood: Not that it worshiped money, but something much worse—that it worshiped an ideal of so-called perfection." https://www.wellesnet.com/thanksgiving-treat-orson-welles-on-jean-renoir/

Pace layering is one of those ideas with such distant reach, ever since I first read about it I see it everywhere Gives us a tangible and visual way to see why complex systems behave how they do, and often resist attempts to change them So I went deep in my latest post: https://www.resextensa.co/p/pace-layers
