why is this a bad thing? if art wasn’t “better than reality” then there would be no reason for it to exist

>>11327703
Plato was autistic about art in exactly the same way

A rebours

Art exists and has a basis within reality.

Was this gentleman a precursor to wojak? Is wojak art?

when i was manic reality became like art, like a movie or poem or music or whatever, everything suffused with meaning and beauty

>>11327726
because reality is incapable of measuring up. i am stuck in the squalid trivial cage of reality and all my existence is seeing how meaningful things outside are

>>11327763
an essential aspect of nature seems to be that existence dirties the ideal, art is unencumbered by this ugliness since its depictions dont exist

>my existence is seeing how meaningful things outside are
There is no outside; it's all just in your head

The point of art is to surpass reality. In its most primitive form art simply depicts reality, without offering much originality. It did not take long for humans to improve upon art such that it encapsulated the best and most beautiful aspects of life, real or not.

If you lived in a world where reality was the same way as the art that you view here, it would feel the same as this reality because you have nothing to relate it to. For instance if in an ideal reality everybody knew how to fly from birth, it wouldn't feel as beautiful as art depicting human flight in our world because its just a normal part of life. Art however influences people to create the world in its image, or at least it used to. Now the most influential art is McDonald's, so those are the feelings that most people are made out of.

you have a low sensitivity to aesthetic experiences and are overly agreeable and open to emotional transferrence that’s why this feels this way. when socializing you go into auto-pilot, when doing your daily routine you shut off most of your existence to function properly. its you who has nothing to offer not reality. you render things beautiful and ugly

>OP laments that he can't find the same beauty in reality that he finds in art
>you have a low sensitivity to aesthetic experiences

fuck off normie

>>11329681
no it isnt that i cant feel its that the human experience pales in comparison to the artistic. otoh something seems wrong, gluttonous artificial and decadent in living your life vicariously through eg books

>>11330029
Your experience of art still counts as human experience

>>11327703

reality is art, anon. We live in a projection we built in the future, in fact, in the biggest work of art ever created. It looks uglier only because making sense of it is more difficult - and because we still have only a partial view of it. Would you say a novel is beautiful by reading just one page?

>>11330029
What the fuck do you think inspired artists to create their works? Did they pull it out of a hat? It's all inspired by reality you dunce. You'd better start finding beauty in the shit that's all around you, or else you're fucked for life.

He means that he lacks the sensitivity to find the aesthetic aspects of everyday life. That’s why he thinks reality is devoid of beauty/inferior to the beauty of art.

>>11327703
Try envisioning your interaction with reality as an act of art

>>11327703
In art you have clear climax point while life is just endless stream of vague anxiety

Make your life art, faggot.
