Adam Driver said, “Any actor is happy to be involved with something that’s challenging, controversial, and not easily palatable. Things that are too dumbed down or easy to swallow are uninteresting… It’s good when people have such a polarizing response.” What is Creator’s perspective?

We would say this is at least half the loaf, embracing as it does the reality that humans were created to learn and grow, to expand possibilities in novel ways, to create new things, new ways of doing things, and to bring new visions into reality. As we have discussed already, to be a change agent, an innovator, a novel thinker, will often be misunderstood and will bump into many points of resistance among those who are embedded in the status quo and find the idea of change threatening instead of invigorating and possibly enlightening, at least enough to do the experiment. So there is, ideally, the need for people to have enough curiosity and enough appreciation for something new and different as being of interest, at a minimum, so they will be tolerant and not rush to stamp out newness that is unexpected and different, and thwart those who are seekers with an appetite for challenges and solving tough problems. The quote only leaves unstated that polarizing perspectives can carry great danger and lead to confrontation and conflict. The wise person knows, almost always through life experience, that often a measured response, careful planning, and adroit timing may be required to bring about the possibility of change through starting on a small scale and creating a proof of principle for one's ideas and allowing people to see something in action for themselves. In this context, the quotation seems somewhat naïve, at a minimum, in its willingness to embrace the controversial and even unpopular perspective. Inevitably, such issues will arise and need to be managed effectively to make any significant progress in doing something truly new and capable of changing existing habits, patterns, practices, and prejudices.
