Tim Ingold describes Creativity as a process of ‘Undergoing’. I like that. It’s not a product or endpoint. Not even something that’s ever really ‘done’. It’s a constant process. Something that has to be experienced. If you skip the process, it’s not creative.

Should I react to the thing that's happened, make a comment about the people who have reacted to the thing that's happened or just make a general observation about both parties? Or this?

From the starting points Computer Science, Operations Research, and Social Sciences, arrows flow through items like "Simulation" "Behavioral Economics" "Buzzwords" "Design Fiction" "Thought Leaders" and "Data Science" to "Actuaries" and finally "Death comes for us all"
