In any creative endeavor, be it lego or minecraft or anything else, you can endlessly watch the global greatest hits on youtube, things you have no chance of "competing" with. I have no idea how this affects people growing up in this environment. Is it stifling? Inspiring? Just normal, since you start out as a kid not knowing how to do anything and surrounded by people who do? How different is it really from how we grew up, listening to professional music, surrounded by professional visual art? I don't know any of the answers. But I'm grateful that my kid can assemble a complex thing from a lego kit. For her, it looks empowering to me. And when she's done, she almost immediately starts tweaking it, then disassembles it completely within a few days and the kit ends up in the pile of assorted bricks for "free play."
