@benroy @charlicohen first thing I noticed looking at this 😂

[Drift @DrifterShoots]

You can’t serve two masters. If you pursue craftsmanship in the arts in this day and age, You will naturally have to move at a pace and with an intention that will make you feel like you’re being left behind.

We are trying to replace what is irreplaceable with speed and aesthetics and it just can’t be. Now we want our artists brandable, and we want them to be machines, we scarcely give them time to feel their way through their own becoming.

This is because the ultimate end goal of art in the life of the artist is self actualization. It takes time and inner focus that is threatened by a world that would have artists make space for neither.

The gap is getting wider, there’s almost no way to do inner work and live within the bounds of the machine. It is going to be a lonely road for artists that really want truth, but what else do we have?

Dark days at present and darker ahead, nevertheless we must be present for all of it.

Telling the truth is deeply antisocial because at some point you will be forced to choose what matters most to you: the truth or the approval of the group.

[Meredith Whittaker @mer__edith]

One of my most deeply held beliefs is that refusing to name truth makes you stupid--literally degrades your intellect.

Engaging in mental gymnastics to justify what's convenient but unevidenced, unjust but personally beneficial, 'rewires your neural map' in ways that degrade your overall ability to understand and analyze the world around you, which is a precondition for intelligence and creativity.

@benroy imo, the vehicle itself (much like the broader industry) will be forced to evolve as a consequence of what will happen in the coming years - for better or worse!

@benroy absolutely love to hear it 💙

[jihad @jaesmail]

If you consume this much and you *aren’t* creating, though, it’ll literally poison your mind. You will not be able to think clearly.

@dmcgco 👋

[Emmett Stinson @EmmettStinson]

Music is very clearly the greatest form of art, and the written word is (probably) second. It is genuinely amazing that the human brain is able to enjoy both simultaneously.

[David McGillivray @dmcgco]

I don’t think you just make a new generational aesthetic with that as the goal. It’s a byproduct of something you are attempting to explore or resolve; a new ethos, philosophy, or problem to be addressed, expressed through art or design. Otherwise it’s got no drive or footing.

unfortunate but true.

[matdryhurst @matdryhurst]

As has been obvious for years, these major media lawsuits are bargaining chips for equity and prime placement in the next internet

If you are not a major media property with an army of lawyers you are the collateral being emotionally manipulated to help the big fish to force the best outcome

[Will Manidis @WillManidis]

if you read pre-enlightenment texts from any culture you’ll find huge parts of the population engaged in deals with demons and trickster gods to achieve wealth / material ends

our times will make sense when you realize this practice never went away. it’s everywhere.

[Marvin Keilbach @MarvinKeilbach]

The world is Music. It's a gift already for anything to exist at all. A celebration that is so easily missed by taking it for granted. That, to me, is the foundation of gratitude - to see that existence itself is the primordial miracle prior to any specifics within it.
