Why don't you live like this, /lit?

It's a good idea for poor useless artist types like you.

YOU ARE BOTH UNACCURATE*.

THERE IS A "MASS POLARIZATION" BETWEEN "SINCERITY", AND "IRONY".

▬▬▬
* THE WORD "UNACCURATE" IS AN ALTERNATIVE SPELLING OF "INACCURATE", IT IS CONSIDERED "OBSOLETE". I PREFER "UNACCURATE" OVER "INACCURATE".

Okay, but that still doesn't make what I did anything resembling cognitive dissonance. correcting errors and not reading explanatory notes is not cognitive dissonance.

also, unaccurate is wrong according to most dictionaries so suck my dick R E I

also, saging anymous, nice R E I disguise. ;-)

Sincerity implies taking yourself seriously to a point, which means you haven't followed your sceptical and nihilistic tendencies to their logical end.

If it's not all merely a game to you yet you still have some sacred cows to murder.

Sincerity leads to truthful inquiry which leads to nihilism/scepticism which leads to a lack of sincierity about anything but that scepsis itself. Which you then mourn, but after a while you stop being sad and just play the game.

The day I realized I couldn't be an 'artist' was the day I couchsurfed in New Orleans and lived for a few days in a small shotgun-style house that seven people shared.

People would enter and exit at all times of the day and night. It was a mess- nobody had time to clean because they when they weren't at their dayjobs, they were either engaging with the world or actively creating. Only one of them had a computer and few of them had many books.

Instead of sitting in front of one or two monitor screens for hours, mired in e-clutter, meticulously curating a vast collection of art, literature, and film (like I used to), idly consuming media, agonizing about their humble station in suburbia somehow tainting their creative faculties... they just did art. All sorts of stuff. They lived, hard and fast. Some painted, some wrote, another did fabulous things with ropes and knots in the garden. One was a master puppeteer. And it was for nobody but themselves- they didn't intend to impress. They were completely authentic.

And get them chatting over a cup of coffee and they'd show you up, unpretentiously, at any subject- modern politics, science, ancient warfare, cognitive neuropsychology, anything. It was overwhelming. I felt like a nobody. Whereas in my small town growing up I had entertained the idea of being an artist, just an artist who was currently 'asleep' as it were, they just *did it*. It wasn't a special little badge awarded to the inclined, but a uniquely human expression.

Any subject? Really? Their lifestyle sounds boss, but I'm having trouble believing they could have have achieved something more than superficial understanding in all of those subjects. It takes a lot of time to know something deeply, or even just competently. How old where they? How could they learn so much, have day jobs, and still do art?

>>	Anonymous Tue May 1 17:35:58 2012 No.2607876 >>2607635 How deep an understanding would you want them to have? Master degrees in each subject?

>>	Anonymous Tue May 1 18:08:58 2012 No.2607989 >>2607876 "Show you up" suggests they would be able to maintain a conversation on it with someone with a bachelors on the subject, and who actually cared for the subject.
