I'm a different anon but I also disagree, someone uninitiated could consider Michelangelo or Rembrandt or Salvador Dalí the GOAT as opposed to Pollock, but that is only because the reputation of these great people of yore is so immense that everyone can and will find familiarity and beauty within them immediately. Most people tend to also refuse to dig deeper than a first look out of contempt for "meaning-to-be extracted", usually also putting the abstract shitposting label on them, and instead marvel for hours upon something immediately grandiose at face value. Truth is, there is no greatest painter. There isn't even a better painter than (x). My favorite is Istvan Farkas because he terrifies me more than any other. As soon as art is perceived as something to be raced, as something to compete, it ceases to be art.

No, nothing, including 'nothing' does.Your monkey senses may, for a lack of a better word 'dream' this world of two of the contradicting nothings into being, but these 'dreams' are not things and never will be. You exist in an eternal betweenness, of two contradictory nothings, and only their flux is perceived observable

He was destroyed by benzo, and his wifes' tumor. Hopefully we get a better book than 12 rules out of this mess. I don't think his undoing was consciously machinated by an outsider evil, which makes it all the more sad to witness. JBP is my favorite pseud magnet after all.
