“Some writers confuse authenticity, which they ought always to aim at, with originality, which they should never bother about.”

i guess due to the masses and the rate that information travels now it seems that you see more unoriginal works out there. by all means there are some seriously original people and creative work out there. i guess its just getting harder and harder to find.

Originality is over-rated. Most people I know who aim at "being original" (or at least bore you to tears talking about it at parties - Yes Williamsburg I am looking at you) usually just come up with clever ways to be exactly the same as everyone else. Fuck originality - or at least the whole "trying to be original" thing. The more you quest for it the more it runs away. Just do your fucking work with heart and conviction and the originality that only you can bring to the work will be there automatically.

If you think about it, the demand for originally is mainly a 20th/ 21rst century phenomenon. Old style artists didn't worry about creating "original" work, they were more concerned with technical ability and adhering to what the culture/ religion demanded of them. The rise of modern art launched the idea that culture and art needed to innovate and constantly progress. So when you dream about the "good old days" when everyone was original, you need to put it in perspective a bit. In many ways, there is more originality now than ever before.

Originality is just fucking everywhere, you're just to stupid to see it.
Think about how many new ideas appear on the internet from facebook to youtube. Think about the buildings being built in the world from that french bridge to the olympics stadium in China, think about the genuinely amazing films being made. More books are written now than ever before. Music is more diverse at this moment in time than at any other time in history.
More than anything creativity can make you so so rich these days, that it is prized as much as the ability to do Quantum Physics. Look at the Forbes top 20 richest people in the world, 4 of the top 10 are their because of original ideas.
Originaltiy is increasing and it's increasing everywhere.
My personal belief is that we have slowed evolving physically, but we are evolving at and ever increasing rate mentally, and you will see more and more amazing original thought across all spheres of life, and I don't really see that changing anytime soon.
