We humans are the only species that knows that we will die. One way to cope is by aiming for symbolic immortality, so that a part of us may live on after our death. There are many potential pathways; one is through one’s creative works. Creators need not be geniuses to have their contributions live on, however. Many Pro-c creators may join forces on a larger project; and smaller-c creators may pass their everyday creative efforts (memoirs, scrapbooks, recipes) to be cherished by future generations.
