What holds us together and where does art fit in society: "The Structure Of Love" for anybody and especially artists

[Jeffrey Kursonis @Kursonis]

So glad Dana Carvey is back amongst us after years off to raise a family. A tribute to the artistry of comedians: "Imagine the artistic skill of the comedian to shape words and story expectations in just such a way and then yank them in a surprise...

@PaulSkallas I think its the same phenomenon of living in a Condo...I've lived in a few fully filled condo's and you rarely see your neighbors in the hallway or elevator...it's like you live in this huge building alone. People just come and go at various times and its rare you see them.

@KnaughtyKnancy @teachrobotslove This is the kind of advice for a subset of people at a subset of points along the lifespan of their depression. It can work for some…if they are at a place with the capacity to make these small steps. Others are not at a place where this is workable advice. Hear if you you can.

@nick_andrws Im focusing more on stop factory farming than promot'g veganism; My reasoning is veg. growth only in wealthy western lands & may be capped. India biggest vegan land is decline. Rest of world don't care & eat ethical meat. So if veg. growth capped, focus on 🐓 suffering reduction.

@AndyMasley It's an unfortunate but understandable dynamic...you join a charity org, you expect to feel some charity. Problem is on both sides, maybe some immature expectation, but also Utilitarianism creates robot culture, not human. Both need balance.

What if you've been loved in ways you never knew were love and even though ur still carrying some loneliness you're making it. But your understanding of all this is like a duct taped contraption - what if you could see it better and feel more...

Did you know that technically there's a form of love known as "The Sweet Honey"...and it's totally organic but the packaging alternatives are what make it interesting...

(Nobody ever promised you a rose garden, you will have to read for about 18 minutes to get to that part...but there are pictures :)

You know how we bemoan the old school parents who would work hard to support the family, but never told the kids they love them?

What if we have a way we do the equivalent of that today but don't realize it?...Like all of us.

"Imagine the artistic skill of the comedian to shape words and story expectations in just such a way and then yank them in a surprise direction causing the solar plexus of hundreds of people to jerk in surprise exploding air out of their lungs and making the muscles of their face go berserk as their neural network triggers a dopamine rush and the sound of so many people reverberates off the walls like a drunken choir. What happier moment on earth could there be?"
