T-Rex: So let's say I'm a painter, and I've studied really hard and I've worked really hard and I've become one of the best painters in the world. Hooray! Except there's one problem:
T-Rex: There's nowhere to go but down!
T-Rex: I've got no new frontiers to challenge! Do I quit while I'm ahead? That seems like a waste of all that effort. Or do I power through and continue painting as my body begins to fail, trying to recall my earlier successes as my work inevitably declines, sliding towards self-parody?
Utahraptor: I think that's a pretty egotistical and false dichotomy!
T-Rex: Explain!
Utahraptor: Just because you've conquered everything about painting TODAY doesn't mean you've also conquered everything about painting in the future. You're in the privileged position of a master painter: from that high vantage point, maybe you can see where the medium can go next!
T-Rex: I have a confession, Utahraptor!
T-Rex: I was 10 the last time I painted! And it was of a muscley dog doing the splits. And I'm pretty sure Leonardo could have painted it better. And I'm pretty sure I'm talking about the Ninja Turtle there.
T-Rex: Aaaaand now I'm certain of it. I am speaking of the ninja teen.
