Everyone complains that #GPTs make up references, but that makes me wonder. When do they *not* #cite things?
Presumably, this "enhances" the #novelty or #innovativeness of ideas that it has.

In a rapidly changing world, becoming aware of these choices may be one of the most important forms of agency we have.

None of us live entirely in one mode or the other.
But over time, one pattern usually dominates—mostly unconsciously.
I explore this in the Substack article: Choosing to Be Innovative:

Different terms. Same insight:
We can relate to reality as fixed… or as unfolding.

in psychology, philosophy, education, neuroscience, mindfulness, and coaching.

They mirror each other.
Same phases.
Quite different effects.
One defends what’s known.
The other learns from what’s happening.

Being innovative is largely about choices—
small, repeated choices we make that overtime become habits—a mindset

Innovation requires a different loop—one that treats reality as useful information, not an error to be fixed.
That’s the innovation cycle.

The status quo cycle is stabilizing, efficient, and often necessary.
It’s also terrible at helping us adapt to novelty and uncertainty.

That habit quietly becomes a mindset—a closed feedback loop that keeps pulling us back to what we already believe to be true. It's called the status quo cycle.

From early childhood, we learn to detect deviations and correct them.
It’s how school works.
How jobs work.
How most systems work. If it’s broken, we fix it.

I don’t think it’s because people are irrational or afraid of change.
I think it’s because we’re very good at something else.

And that’s what keeps you ready for whatever comes next.

Innovation isn’t about restoring things.
It’s about creating new value from changed conditions.

What’s possible now?
Who do I need to become?

Ironically, when life throws disruption at us—job loss, failure, upheaval—we tend to resist innovation.
We try to restore what was.

It assumes innovation is a toolset you deploy occasionally.
For the most effective innovators, it’s a mindset—a default way of engaging the world.

When I teach innovation, I’m often asked:
“When should I do this?”
That question reveals something important about how we think.

We often treat innovation like emergency equipment—something to pull out when needed.
But the people who navigate change best keep their innovativeness always on.

Without feedback, guessing takes forever.
With feedback, discovery accelerates—even as problems become more complex.
That’s why evolution works.
And why innovation does too.

What makes the cycle work isn’t the ideas. It’s the feedback.
Reality tells you what fits and what doesn’t—if you’re willing to listen.
