you're very smart, but i think maybe people might listen to your ideas more if you were nicer.

>>1812884

thanks for your enthusiasm.

the inanimate/animate issue and the concept of "information" i find particularly problematic/interesting. it's a great thought experiment.

very productive, gentlemen.

>>1812858

checkmate.

>>1812855

to some extent, i agree with you. to some extent, i don't.

let op read it, argue with it, and decide for himself. that's what i did. it made me think.

take these two, put them in a blender, and you've got something like the truth.

it's possible to improve on your own, if you have skilled peers. i personally would rather be taking classes that interest me in order to inform my work, instead of being stuck in a bunch of lit and workshop classes. and i'd rather be studying something i'm passionate about that i can't do on my own.

but you can also improve by being in these classes, especially if you seriously lack an effective critical environment.

it's a very personal thing.

in the future, will artists have to be neuroscientists?

interesting questions.

the big dirt secret ITT: we experience enough objective intersubjectivity to sit on machines together using our eyes to look at screens while seeing the same text while communicating in english and caring about these devices we apparently all value called books
