Can anyone actually refute this piece? It doesn't apply to just women in art, but also women in literature.

Does anyone seriously believe in the myth of the lone genius? That someone can just come from some poor, pastoral family and then become GOAT in art like Michalengelo from sheer skill and genius? Can anyone explain me why I should take these delusions seriously?

>> No.12464686

It's a cope, men are more represented as outliers, and also just smarter on average.

Also the lone genius is half the equation. You need the social setting for him to succeed as well. Doesn't change the relative numbers of men and women capable of fulfilling the role should they have the opportunity.

Please relent from posting academic word salad here. There’s nothing worse than the floundering newspeak of someoen trying to impress their professors or peers. All I got from this was that women are still complaining about institutionalized power structures that are no longer there and also their inner demons. To me reading between the lines it’s also obvious this is a person that views art as a commodified experience and an artist can only truly be recognized f the art world or other institutional
Powers imbue it with meaning and recognition. Disgusting. This is the long way for a woman to explain she wants more attention, no thank you.

The most truly alone geniuses are studied long after their deaths. Historically speaking, the image of the lone genius is riddled with malaise and fraught with struggle. Kafka is the minor writer par excellence, distantly followed by Huysmans.

I really dont think we can get to the bottom of this because history cant be run repeatedly to experiment with it.

From writing such a point of view, they end up writing something only they can relate to while alienating the rest of the world. In other words, they failed to create something truly beautiful and magnificent for the whole world to enjoy that transcends superficial barriers such as class, gender, and race.

There's nothing wrong with seeking a more complex value system than rote instant gratification hedonism but the more seriously you look at value the more apparent it is that the truest standard of value by which we operate is a sort of private organismic valuing rather than value as some grand objective entity; similarities in value system between individual persons are inevitable but these are most likely the result of overlaps in human physiology and culture rather than being due to some thing outside of human experience that humans somehow acquire access to. To attempt to wholly reject "bodily pleasures" or "passing vanites" is to arbitrarily select a small corner of pleasure as eternal, but viewing things from a phenomenological, epistemological stance, there is no reason to differentiate feeling and valuing processes in this manner. The best standard I have found is to seek out moral and emotional persistence or sustainability, which does involve an asceticism of sorts insofar as I postpone one joy for another one, but it comes from a place of intellectual humility rather than hubritic certainty claims that I know everything that there is to know about God and the Absolute and what it requires of me.

Its really simple, women just cant accept that the intelligence of men is far more variable allowing for both more geniuses and retards. Men were set up to compete with each other from day one, considering that there are typically more young men than single fertile women at any one time and there are always more boys than girls born. Part of excellent artistry is mating strategy, men get involved in the arts so they can attract women whether conciously or unconciously done. Literally everything men do, all of our genius, all of our heights, all our incredible athletic achievement has been because we’ve been set up to compete and fight each other from day one. Women inherently can’t understand this. In most societies, they compete to attract the best quality men while men compete just to get a woman at all. Reproduction is all but assured for them. Women have trouble understanding that to be a man is to be thrown to the deep end from birth, whether a man drowns is up to him. If he drowns nobody cares, thats just another body on the pile to nature. A genetic dead end. That’s the world for men.

actually it's the perfect example you nigger. a male is way more likely to pick up chess because he likes it. he might like it because he sees an intrinsic value in chess. he doesn't care if everyone in the world plays chess or only a handful do. He will do it in the most dumb way possible, for his own love of what goes on in the game. There is the obvious downside to this: you will get tons of males investing time into shit like getting 200mil exp in runescape

a woman on the other hand NEEDS there to be some vast cultural background where chess is played everywhere, where people openly talk about chess and where tons of other women also play chess. In other words, she waits until it's "safe" to play chess before playing it. That's why it's always women shilling about 'muh' barriers to entry, muh cultural influence and so on.

The best female chess players were raised by two parents who performed an experiment by homeschooling children and forcing them to play chess from the onset. To these women, chess is literally an intractable part of social existence.

technological cultural changes in premodern societies were adopted by men and women in relation to how those two groups at one point acuired new ideas and concepts and applied them to artifacts for judgement. Men accounted for both much lower accomplishments overall, but also more amongst a small majority. Women accomplished in a much more illusive way a method of viewing objects that men are subservient to today. The viewing of such is a technology incorporated because women allowed for it to be seen as such. There middling culture cannot be studied except in critique of the critique and so therefore subject to ridicule and laughter, which has become our master.

Typical of some worthless grad student who solely took survey courses and regurgitated the information back without learning how to think.

Your academic larping above with your referenced numbers tried to support the term "always" (modally necessary) with a specific example from history (modally contingent). The move from contingent claims to a necessary claim is a modal scope fallacy. Hence a part of your claim you made doesn't infer what you think it infers. Pointing out a faulty inference as part of your larger set of claims is at least one way to give a counter-argument.

In the three or four civilized European countries, one can in a few centuries educate women to be anything one wants, even men--not in the sexual sense, of course, but certainly in every other sense. At some point, under such an influence, they will have taken on all male virtues and strengths, and of course they will also have to take male weaknesses and vices into the bargain. This much, as I said, one can bring about by force. But how will we endure the intermediate stage it brings with it, which itself can last a few centuries, during which female follies and injustices, their ancient birthright, still claim predominance over everything they will have learned or achieved? This will be the time when anger will constitute the real male emotion, anger over the fact that all the arts and sciences will be overrun and clogged up by shocking dilettantism; bewildering chatter will talk philosophy to death; politics will be more fantastic and partisan than ever; society will be in complete dissolution because women, the preservers of the old custom, will have become ludicrous in their own eyes, and will be intent on standing outside custom in every way.
