Here I thought we make music because we're creative beings that carves to create and not work like robots in a filthy factory.

Hm yes i guess the creativity output thing sounds quite like greedyness for money, fame and power.
I think the product counts.
Because at the end of the day, personally that is it what will make me happy. Having an outcome that I am satisfied with. If i made it creatively or not, I don't care.

If it satisfies my will to make the music I love, i do care.

Creativity may be there or not I am just not wasting a single thought about it.
The only thing that counts is getting your desired result and if that works by using vengeance loops, I am totally on your side.

In the past i overthought everything just to learn painfully that everything already lies on the table and the table is already cramped up with stuff, no need for me to further put things on it. Instead grab the things that lie on it abd create something.

And I absolutely don't agree you have to do do something with samples everybody uses. It's not about layering stuff or processing but about simple essential techniques and formulas that define your preferred style of music.
So, are you one of those guys that sucks out others blood in terms of hints and advice and once you've "made it" take a piss at them?

You do a great job at writing shit along these lines, mate.

Gilbert and George have also gone on record that they don't care much for the process

every once in a while when i get really frustrated with my own productions I start up a blank project and call it something like "cheap fix," "hands up," "much more way more louder," and I try and make tracks just out of loops from various sample packs. It's depressingly easy to come up with a passable dj tool that way, though it leaves you feeling cheapn dirty.

I don't think there's anything actually criminal about that, if all you want to do with production is make generic tunes to play in your sets and don't act like you're some production wizard. It only gets shady when you start misrepresenting things, or straight stealing other people's tracks.
