The creative process necessarily involves abandoning bad ideas and refining to something more intentional

I know this is a Bevy community but I thought I'd mention:
If you're looking to dev on a mobile device, Godot has a dedicated Android build! And it's Linux native, so it'll run on mobile Linux distros, I'm sure :)
The swastika is thus understood to be a symbol of auspiciousness and good fortune
The Hindu one is, yes.
Symbols can have meanings that are different than what they turn into.
Not denying that.
Hammer and sickle is almost unanimously considered to be a symbol of Stalin USSR totalitarian communism where millions perished.
Only to people ignorant of what communism actually means.
I'm not talking about any governments.
Like I already told you:
The hammer and sickle (Unicode: U+262D ☭ ) is a communist symbol representing proletarian solidarity between agricultural and industrial workers.
This sentence is the entire and only reason I used that symbol. You have zero reason to continue to ask me for "good governments using this symbol". It is not a symbol of government. Communism is stateless, ergo no government. Just like anarchism.
You're trolling. Fuck off.
I can't tell if you're being ignorant or disingenuous. The Ⓐ should be a clue as to my opinion on government in general, no? As for ☭ - check the first sentence of the article you linked. Or the description written under it, for what I meant to invoke.
I am no USSR apologist. I just consider that symbol useful as a marker for worker solidarity.
A person sees a piece of art and is inspired. They understand what they see, be it a rose bush to paint or a story beat to work on. This inspiration leads to actual decisions being made with a conscious aim to create art.
An AI, on the other hand, sees a rose bush and adds it to its rose bush catalog, reads a story beat and adds to to its story database. These databases are then shuffled and things are picked out, with no mind involved whatsoever.
A person knows why a rose bush is beautiful, and internalises that thought to create art. They know why a story beat is moving, and can draw out emotional connections. An AI can't do either of these.
