Sorry if this sounds rough, computer science is probably only about combination, but there are many other fields

Sorry if this sounds rough, no.

Saying that is like saying everything is about combination because well, it is even the creative stuff if you are pedantic.

The wibbily wobbly dna of humans is how we keep recombining things into new shit. Comp sci absolutely has deep creativity in it.

DNA is so many layers below human cognition, it's a bit like explaining the Moon landing's technology by a stick burning.

There is absolutely no DNA recombination during a thought process.

i meant reproduction? not that thinking was doing it but that each person would have some unique aspect to their thinking based on dna and env.

Why would this sound rough? Do you know a field where creation is more than that?

It’s well known that many people think all art is merely copy of a copy, so I’d be curious what field you’re thinking about
