That's somewhat orthogonal to creation. Although it is something some creators see, and set out to change it.
But the group who can see a different, say, social structure, are distinct from creators. Creators create, not to change things, but because that's how they are. Changers can see a different path, and are frustrated that change is hard.
Both are small minorities, with some overlap, but are distinct groups.
Incidentally there are lots of population groups around the world, in every country. The Amish, which gave rise to this thread, are an example of that.
There might be a level of changers like you mean, but they're not the people I'm looking for either. That's just making the world slightly different.
The people I'm looking for are the ones who have actually had to grapple with why there is anything, rather than nothing at all. Nothing before them is taken for granted as necessarily so.
Those are creators, and most people never ask the questions.
