Without passion. And create art. Doing what you love by being yourself. Other people define and say you will follow your heart. Happy and free, not love your art and by inspiring people letting others tell you you can change the world.
Doing what you love by being yourself.
Makes sense...
letting others tell you you can change the world.
Well, if only if only...
I'm moved to tears
no active /c/sbeve, what a shame
Perfection.
These are the glimmers of a human race I could respect and even feel pride to be a part of rather than shame.
Hoarding capital profit at the direct expense of your fellow man, ie our global economy? Not so much. Burn all the sociopathic, dehumanizing capital markets to the ground and nothing of actual value will have been lost.
Long term, the human race would wonder why we tolerated them for so long, demanding we remain one another's enemies, working against each other selfishly trying to get mooooooore than the the next person, leaving our brothers and sisters to die in the streets for the sin of being sub-optimal capital batteries, not even mentioning what they do to our shared, solitary, irreplaceable habitat without a second thought.
As it is, most of us are coerced to act more like mindless insects slaving for an uncaring queen than individuals with intrinsic value and a need to self-express.
tl;dr 😒😒
What's that? Timmy is unamused in a well?
Come on buddy, use your words.
the comment is not that long, just read it
Infinite wisdom, but very very limited attention span.
Would be better if right hand side read better
Unfortunately there is only so much you can work with given our language.
I'm already impressed enough at how well-crafted it is as-is.
The left side is unironically true
says the guy emotionally moved by a piece of art.
You've never read a book, listened to music, watched a movie or TV show, you don't hang art on your walls and you never went to school?
You've been consuming art your whole life and, for a great many people, contributing to them paying their way.
Every ticket bought, every ad you watched, every game played: funding artists.
"funding artists" is more like. "Giving artists barely enough to scrape by and the rest of the actual profits to the shareholders"
a fair point, but mostly solved by unions.
I would honestly say that the creation of art is more important than most current jobs in society.
Art is what I really live for, most of everything is either about survival, comfort, or convenience. Remember, most of the entertainment you consume is a form of art, from videogames, to tv shows, to youtube videos, to books, to drawings, to stories.
Without art, life would have much less meaning for me.
No its not.
Being a try hard in this economy makes one a joke.
With AI making advances, the role of the artist is being diminished little by little.
Look at this 40 000 year old cave painting. A looooong time ago, someone had the urge to leave their hand print in a cave. Why did they do that? We'll never know.
That person has been dead for thousands of years. We don't really know anything about them. But whenever I look at this picture, I'm reminded that this was made by a human who once walked on this same Earth, drank water, breathed air, ate animals and plants, just like you and I. It was made by a human with a beating heart, emotions, beliefs and opinions.
Can AI make impressive and beautiful things? Sure! But those things have very little value to me, because when I look at them, I can't think about the emotions and opinions the artist wanted to capture. I have molded pieces of clay into pots and painted them, just like my ancestors have done for thousands of years. A robot doesn't have ancestors.
To you, art is simply something nice to be consumed. To me, art is a mortal human's attempt to capture the vast greatness of the whole cosmos and leave a legacy that will survive the rise and fall of multiple civilisations and eras.
So are about half of the white collar office roles, so will about half of general warehouse labor with the robotics coming in, including multiple humanoid competitors.
When 30%+ unemployment is the new normal within the decade, will you still side with system of the gluttonous owners who tell us to fight to the death in tribute to their greed? Will you declare that a third of the population dying in the streets as just lazy and not the dwindling employed's problem?
Do you want to live in a society?
For me, I would side with the employers and technological advancement. Reason being that I prefer not to be viewed as an old man scared of new things and being stuck in the past.
That and the fact that the future is always inevitable.
Society…
"Society…"
A group of people that willingly leave a sizeable portion of its members to die is the opposite of a society.
And technology is benign, and could be used for everyone's benefit when combined with taxation on automation and UBI, so that society could benefit from technological advancements, and not just the sociopathic capital hoarders.
I mean I AM trying. Better to starve on your feet than to eat on your knees or something.
I normally just sit.
That's actually pretty unhealthy, maybe try getting a standing desk?
That is a very thoughtful rectangular prism.
This would look a lot better if there wasn't such a huge gap between both sides..
True, but the first half needs to look like its own separate thing at first glance, too
It would be so much cooler if the other side would also read coherently. I realise that's exponentially more difficult though.
Does anybody know where this is / who the artist is?
It's by Jasmine Kay and was exhibited at the University of Texas at Austin:
Installation piece made from vinyl
Location: Pillar in the stairwell of the UT Austin Art Building was up for two weeks
While walking into the building, this [the "art is pointless" side] is the first side to be seen.
Oohhh, nice thanks for the info, that is so cool!
Post this but blur out the right side of the column.
