Now let me explain a little bit of what I mean there. Imagine that you were a painter, and you had access to every single kind of brush, every single sort of paint, every sort of pencil, charcoal, chalk, gouache, whatever… imagine that you had an infinitely sized canvas, larger than the universe. It would be awfully hard for you to arrive at what composition to place on the canvas. It would be difficult for you to think about what tools you should use in order to create that composition.
Creativity is enhanced by limitations. Creativity, innovation, is largely about finding solutions within a known problem space.
