Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Christopher Alexander said
creativity Making something new: where ideas come from, what conditions let them come, and whether a machine can have them.
motivation What makes effort feel worth it: the neuroscience of wanting to act, apathy, dopamine, and habit.
Each one of us wants to be able to bring a building or part of a town to life like this. It is a fundamental human instinct, as much a part of our desire as the desire for children.
