Artist — Developer — Designer

@ThomasSowell I suspect the hypothesis that ADHD is a neurological defense against boredom is correct

Children, boys in particular, need to be actively engaged with a subject to stay focused. You can't just drone facts at them in a sterile and bloodless environment and expect them to lock in

@GarandThumb1 This makes me want to play DayZ again...

Conservatives are cautious, deliberate, and slow to act. They will only invest in art that has already been produced and has a quality reputation. This is because they see art as just another commodity or service. Artists are seen as technicians, factory workers, assembling widgets from a set of blueprints that already exist. Go to a museum and look around... just do more of that.

They bristle at the thought of investing into unproven or developing artists because why should they? They wouldn't invest in an unproven plumber, mechanic, or contractor... why should artists be any different?

They can't see that artists are more like startups. It begins with a vision... a dream. Investors see the potential of this vision and provide resources to facilitate its production/realization. Sometimes it works, and you have a runaway smash hit. Other times it crashes and burns, and the only thing left is blood stains and shit smeared walls, surrounding piles of burning embers that used to be piles of money.

@GPrime85 Conservatives worship the art of the past and lament that no one is making new art of the same caliber.

Conservatives guffaw at how preposterous and inefficient it is to invest in art because it's expensive and unpredictable.

They are incapable of seeing the contradiction/irony

@Trad_West_Art Every elite sees itself as the pinnacle of ability. In both an intellectual and physical sense.

In order to be a member in good standing you must show your commitment to the core beliefs

Which means Ukrainian soldiers on the red carpet. All of Hollywood has trans kids etc etc

@RWApodcast Which is interesting — each narrative was supposed to manipulate different factions within the west.

The marauding horde narrative was meant for the right, and the racist nazi one was for the left.

Turns out NPCs will accept any narrative as long as it supports the regime.

[MSD @MStockDesign]

@AcademicAgent_X The NAZI race laws had specific exemptions for the Japanese. They were considered the "Aryans of Asia".

I would have to look into again but I even think they were allowed to marry Germans. Not 100% sure though.

@JackPosobiec You can only be considered a centennial/GenY if you were a teenager on new years eve 1999. Been saying this for years.

It's 100% clear to me that the pyramids were absolutely massive scale industrial structures.

What they did?

No clue — but it was incredibly important to the people that built them.

@RWApodcast The public is disconnected from power/politics. "I don't follow that stuff, it's pointless" is a common refrain.

It's how corporate press still has influence even though public trust is zero. They absorb whatever the ambient narrative is because they assume others have vetted it

[MSD @MStockDesign]

@zerosum24 So wait, is there a tornado on the ground?

[MSD @MStockDesign]

@AcademicAgent_X This is such a bizarre narrative. I haven't seen anyone in the US talking about this story line. Not even an offhand comment.

Is the UK really taking this media generated hallucination seriously?

Wealthy right wingers really need a refresher on this

All of the great art in western history was the result of patronage. Wealthy families and institutions had stables of artists, and used them as a means of amplifying their prestige

Get your heads out of the spreadsheets

[George Alexopoulos @GPrime85]

"Artist, can you make culture pretty again?"
"Sure, here's how much it will cost."
"You mean we have to PAY for your work?"

@inkblotistan ~18 months old.

I threw up on myself in my crib. Remember the door opening and mom coming in, asking if something was wrong and taking me into the bathroom. Then I was sitting in this tiny rocking chair that was on the floor while she cleaned the crib.

[MSD @MStockDesign]

@DefiantLs Because food is such an immediate necessity in day to day life. They hope that will make the issue feel sufficiently urgent to the casual observer.

"Oh no! We need food though! Let them stay!"

[MSD @MStockDesign]

@johnkonrad It's hard to say without knowing the family personally, but my experience is that it has far more to do with the parenting, rather than the institutions they attended.

[MSD @MStockDesign]

@michaelmalice They don't "generally" have an advantage... they "specifically" have an advantage.

[MSD @MStockDesign]

@DefiantLs Leftists see themselves as rational, empathetic, and intelligent.

Anyone who disagrees with them must be crazy, cruel, and stupid.

They call for the destruction of their critics to preserve their fragile self-image and sense of superiority.
